LC 419 Legislature · 2025 Regular Session

Revise laws related to board seals and responsibilities

This bill eliminates individual physical seals for Montana's professional licensing boards and replaces them with a standardized digital authentication system for official documents. It directly affects boards overseeing medicine, optometry, acupuncture, speech-language pathology, audiology, and veterinary medicine by removing redundant seal requirements across multiple statutes. The legislation clarifies board responsibilities, standardizes how licenses are authenticated, and repeals conflicting provisions that created inconsistencies in how different professional boards operated. Changes apply to all applicants for professional licenses and the administrative staff responsible for issuing and managing those licenses.
