Revise membership of board of housing to require tribal and veteran representation
This bill changes the composition of Montana's Board of Housing by requiring that at least one member be an enrolled member of a federally recognized tribe and at least one member be a veteran of the U.S. armed forces. The legislation amends state law to mandate these specific qualifications when the governor appoints the seven-member board, which currently requires members to have expertise in housing, economics, or finance. The bill does not alter the board's existing powers or administrative structure but adds diversity requirements to its membership. This change ensures that tribal and veteran perspectives are formally represented on the board that oversees housing programs in the state.
