Establish grant program for newborn safety devices
This bill establishes a grant program in Montana to help fire departments, hospitals, and law enforcement agencies install and maintain newborn safety devices. The state Department of Public Health and Human Services will manage the program, awarding up to $20,000 per eligible organization from an initial $160,000 appropriation. The program includes requirements for applications, evaluation criteria, and reporting, with the department submitting results to the state committee by September 2027. The funding is available for the two-year period from July 1, 2025, through June 30, 2027, after which any unspent funds return to the general fund.
