NOTICE OF PUBLIC HEARING ON PROPOSED AMENDMENT, TRANSFER AND AMENDMENT, AND ADOPTION

TO: All Concerned Persons

 

            1. On January 13, 2023, at 9:00 a.m., the Department of Labor and Industry (department) will hold a public hearing via remote conferencing to consider the proposed amendment, transfer and amendment, and adoption of the above-stated rules. There will be no in-person hearing. Interested parties may access the remote conferencing platform in the following ways:

            a. Join Zoom Meeting, https://mt-gov.zoom.us/j/83722284237,

Meeting ID: 837 2228 4237, Passcode: 438998; or

            b. Dial by telephone, +1 406 444 9999 or +1 646 558 8656,

Meeting ID: 837 2228 4237, Passcode: 438998.

                  

            The hearing will begin with a brief introduction by department staff to explain the use of the videoconference and telephonic platform. All participants will be muted except when it is their time to speak.

 

            2. The department will make reasonable accommodations for persons with disabilities who wish to participate in this public hearing or need an alternative accessible format of this notice. If you require an accommodation, contact the department no later than 5:00 p.m., on January 6, 2023, to advise us of the nature of the accommodation that you need. Please contact Brandon Kirchgasler, Department of Labor and Industry, Office of Legal Services, P.O. Box 1728, Helena, Montana 59624-1728; telephone (406) 444-3359, facsimile (406) 444-4140, or Montana Relay Service at 711; or e-mail laborlegal@mt.gov.

 

            3. GENERAL STATEMENT OF REASONABLE NECESSITY: In 2001, the Montana Legislature transferred professional and occupational licensing functions from the Department of Commerce (DOC) to the Department of Labor and Industry (department) via Senate Bill 445. With the transfer, the professional and occupational licensing boards and programs became allocated to the department for administrative purposes. Because the department had not previously promulgated public participation rules, and to maintain procedural continuity and afford licensees, license applicants, and the public the right of public participation per 2-3-103, MCA, all references to DOC's citizen participation rules remained in place in the boards' administrative rules. Following the transfer to the department, the professional and occupational licensing boards and programs have continuously operated to permit and encourage the public to participate in agency decisions that are of significant interest to the public.

            In MAR Notice No. 24-2-390, the department adopted three new rules regarding public participation to fully comply with the requirements of 2-3-103, MCA, and meet the needs of the department, its customers, and the Montana public. The three rules were adopted exactly as proposed and became effective June 11, 2022.

            Once the department's rules were effective, it became necessary to amend the licensing boards' rules to reference and incorporate them. The department determined it is reasonably necessary to combine the boards' related rule amendments into two rulemaking notices for timeliness, efficiency, and cost effectiveness. Implementing the rules simultaneously for as many boards as possible will reduce confusion regarding the rulemaking process and ensure that most boards operate under the same public participation rules at the same time. Twenty of the boards administratively attached to the department amended their rules effective September 23, 2022, to incorporate and align with the department's new public participation rules, in MAR Notice No. 24-101-395.

            It is reasonably necessary to now amend the remaining 16 boards' rules that were not included in the first project. Where necessary, authority and implementation citations are amended to accurately reflect all statutes implemented through a rule and provide the complete sources of a board's rulemaking authority. Where additional specific bases for a proposed action exist, the individual board will identify those reasons immediately following that rule.

 

            4. Several boards administratively attached to the department are proposing to adopt and amend specific board rules to align with the department's new public participation rules within this notice and correct references from the Department of Commerce to the Department of Labor and Industry. The proposed amendments, transfer and amendment, and new rule are presented in alphabetical order and grouped according to each board or program for clarity, readability, and ease of reference within this notice. The rules proposed to be amended, transferred and amended, or adopted provide as follows, stricken matter interlined, new matter underlined:
