Montana HB547 revises firefighting laws for consolidated city-county governments.
Montana HB547 amends the Montana Code Annotated to clarify that the adoption of a consolidated county municipal government does not affect existing volunteer fire departments or fire districts. It repeals sections that previously stated these departments would not be affected by city-county consolidation. The bill also allows for the creation of new volunteer fire departments or fire districts within consolidated county municipalities, subject to the same rules as other such organizations.
