2.67.303 OFFICIAL MAXIMUM PRICES AND PRINTING STANDARDS

(1) and (2) remain the same.

AUTH: 18-7-404, MCA

IMP: 18-7-411, MCA

 

STATEMENT OF REASONABLE NECESSITY: The board finds it necessary to remove references to seven-point type in (2)(a) and (5)(a) because seven-point type has proven difficult for the aging population to read in printed legal advertising. 

 

4. Concerned persons may submit their data, views, or arguments concerning the proposed action in writing to Angie Gifford, Department of Administration, 1310 East Lockey Avenue, P.O. Box 200110, Helena, MT 59620-1101; telephone (406) 444-0115; fax (406) 444-3039; or e-mail agifford@mt.gov, and must be received no later than 5:00 p.m., August 21, 2014.

 

5.  If persons who are directly affected by the proposed action 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 the person listed in 4 above no later than 5:00 p.m., August 21, 2014.

 

6. If the Board of County Printing receives requests for a public hearing on the proposed action from either 10% 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. Ten percent of those directly affected has been determined to be greater than 25 persons based on the number of Montana counties.

 

7. The Board of County Printing maintains a list of interested persons who wish to receive notices of rulemaking actions proposed by this board.  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. 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 person in 4 above or may be made by completing a request form at any rules hearing held by the board.

 

8. An electronic copy of this proposal notice is available through the Board of County Printing's web site at http://countyprinting.mt.gov. The department strives to make the electronic copy of the notice conform to the official version of the notice, as printed in the Montana Administrative Register, but advises all concerned persons that if a discrepancy exists between the official printed text of the notice and the electronic version of the notice, only the official printed text will be considered. In addition, although the board works to keep its web site accessible at all times, concerned persons should be aware that the web site may be unavailable during some periods, due to system maintenance or technical problems.

 

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

 

10. With regard to the requirements of 2-4-111, MCA, the board has determined that the proposed rule amendments will not significantly and directly impact small businesses.
