Montana HB830 establishes a local emergency quick response funding program for property owners affected by catastrophic natural events.

Montana HB830 creates a local emergency quick response funding program to aid property owners affected by catastrophic natural events. The program allows for cost-share agreements between conservation districts and property owners for immediate aid. Property owners can apply for up to $10,000 per emergency, with a maximum of one application every five years. The conservation district may retain up to 7% of the awarded amount for program administration. The program is funded by an $8 million appropriation from the general fund, with unspent funds reverting to the general fund.
