Please contact Grace Berger, Business Standards Division, 301 South Park Avenue, P.O.

3. GENERAL STATEMENT OF REASONABLE NECESSITY: The Department of Labor and Industry determined it is reasonably necessary to amend ARM 24.101.413 and repeal ARM Title 24, chapter 181 because these rules are no longer in force. The 2019 Montana Legislature enacted Chapter 293, Laws of 2019 (Senate Bill 267), an act to terminate the Board of Private Alternative Adolescent Residential or Outdoor Programs and transfer the licensing and regulatory duties of the board to the Department of Public Health and Human Services (DPHHS). The bill was signed by the Governor on May 3, 2019 and became effective on July 1, 2019.
The DPHHS and interested stakeholders met and drafted new administrative rules to implement Senate Bill 267 and facilitate DPHHS's regulation of Private Alternative Adolescent Residential or Outdoor Programs. The new rules became effective November 8, 2019, and the Department of Labor and Industry's rules are no longer valid or necessary.
4. The rule proposed to be amended is as follows, stricken matter interlined, new matter underlined:
24.101.413 RENEWAL DATES AND REQUIREMENTS
(1) through (5)(z) remain the same.
(aa) | Private Alternative Adolescent Residential or Outdoor Programs | Program | Annually | June 30 |
(ab) through (am) remain the same but are renumbered (aa) through (al).
(6) and (7) remain the same.

Box 200513, Helena, Montana 59620-0513, by facsimile to (406) 841-2305, or e-mail to [email protected], to be received no later than 5:00 p.m., January 3, 2020.

Notice of the hearing will be published in the Montana Administrative Register. Ten percent of those persons directly affected has been determined to be zero persons based on the department no longer issuing these license types.
9. An electronic copy of this notice is available through the Secretary of State's web site at https://sosmt.gov/arm/. Although the department strives to keep its web sites accessible at all times, concerned persons should be aware that web sites may be unavailable during some periods, due to system maintenance or technical problems, and that technical difficulties in accessing a web site do not excuse late submission of comments.
10. The department maintains a list of interested persons who wish to receive notices of rulemaking actions. 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 and specifies that the person wishes to receive notices regarding all administrative rulemaking proceedings or other administrative proceedings. The request must indicate whether e-mail or standard mail is preferred. Such written request may be sent or delivered to Grace Berger, Business Standards Division, 301 South Park Avenue, P.O. Box 200513, Helena, Montana 59620-0513, faxed to the office at (406) 841-2305, e-mailed to [email protected], or made by completing a request form at any rules hearing held by the agency.
11. The bill sponsor contact requirements of 2-4-302, MCA, do not apply.
12. Regarding the requirements of 2-4-111, MCA, the department has determined that the amendment and repeal of the above-stated rules will not significantly and directly impact small businesses.
