Require fee schedule and report for certain commitments
Montana's LC 157 requires the Department of Public Health and Human Services to create a fee schedule and administrative rules for covering costs when individuals are committed to community facilities under specific court orders. The bill also mandates an annual report (due September 1 of even-numbered years) to a legislative committee, detailing the number of people committed to facilities and facility-specific data. This affects individuals committed under Montana law (specifically sections 53-21-127(3)(a)/(b) and 53-21-124) and the state agency responsible for implementing these requirements. The bill amends existing statutes (53-21-149 and 53-21-193) to include these provisions and includes a one-time $5,000 appropriation for implementation.
