Montana HB679 revises rules on using state-owned vehicles for commuting, with exceptions for certain employees.

Montana HB679 amends the use of state-owned vehicles for commuting by state agency employees.

Exceptions include employees required to be on call for quick response to emergencies, with documentation and approval from the department director and the governor. The act also exempts certain employees, such as those in specific positions or when the vehicle is the worksite. This act takes immediate effect upon passage and approval.
