IMP: 44-4-301(2), 44-4-403(3), MCA

 

REASON:   The repeal of these rules is necessary because the 2021 Montana Legislature removed this duty from the Board of Crime Control in House Bill 23, Ch. 83, L. 2021.

 

5. Concerned persons may submit their data, views, or arguments concerning the proposed actions in writing to:  Natalia Bowser, Director, Board of Crime Control, 5 South Last Chance Gulch, PO Box 201408, Helena, Montana, 59620; telephone (406) 444-4244; fax (406) 444-4722; or e-mail nbowser@mt.gov. and must be received no later than 5:00 p.m., May 26, 2023.

 

6. If persons who are directly affected by the proposed actions wish to express their data, views, or arguments orally or in writing at a public hearing, they must make written request for a hearing and submit this request along with any written comments to Natalia Bowser at the above address no later than 5:00 p.m., May 26, 2023.

 

7. If the agency receives requests for a public hearing on the proposed action from either 10 percent or 25, whichever is less, of the persons directly affected by the proposed action; from the appropriate administrative rule review committee of the Legislature; from a governmental subdivision or agency; or from an association having not less than 25 members who will be directly affected, a hearing will be held at a later date. Notice of the hearing will be published in the Montana Administrative Register.  The number of persons affected is less than 250, therefore a public hearing will be held if 25 or more people request one.

 

8. The department maintains a list of interested persons who wish to receive notices of rulemaking actions proposed by this agency. Persons who wish to have their name added to the list shall make a written request that includes the name, e-mail, and mailing address of the person to receive notices and specifies for which program the person wishes to receive notices. Notices will be sent by e-mail unless a mailing preference is noted in the request.  Such written request may be mailed or delivered to the contact person in 5 above or may be made by completing a request form at any rules hearing held by the department.

 

9. An electronic copy of this proposal notice is available through the Secretary of State's web site at http://sosmt.gov/ARM/Register.

 

10. The bill sponsor contact requirements of 2-4-302, MCA, do not apply.

 

11. With regard to the requirements of 2-4-111, MCA, the department has determined that the amendment and repeal of the above-referenced rules will not significantly and directly impact small businesses.
