NOTICE OF PROPOSED AMENDMENT AND REPEAL

 

NO PUBLIC HEARING CONTEMPLATED

 

TO: All Concerned Persons

 

            1. On April 29, 2019, the Department of Labor and Industry (department) proposes to amend and repeal the above-stated rules.

 

            2. The department will make reasonable accommodations for persons with disabilities who wish to participate in the rulemaking process and need an alternative accessible format of this notice. If you require an accommodation, contact the department no later than 5:00 p.m., on April 19, 2019, to advise us of the nature of the accommodation that you need. Please contact Rhonda Morgan, Athletics Program, 301 South Park Avenue, P.O. Box 200513, Helena, Montana 59620-0513; telephone (406) 841-2320; Montana Relay 1 (800) 253-4091; TDD (406) 444-2978; facsimile (406) 841-2305; or dlibsdath@mt.gov (program's e-mail).

 

            3. GENERAL STATEMENT OF REASONABLE NECESSITY: The 2019 Montana Legislature enacted Chapter 51, Laws of 2019 (Senate Bill 77), an act generally revising laws related to the Department of Labor and Industry to address legislative audit findings and recommendations. The bill was signed by the Governor and became effective March 7, 2019. Because the bill eliminated the licensure and regulation of professional boxing in Montana, the department determined it is reasonably necessary to repeal the Athletics Program rules in ARM Title 24, chapter 117 in compliance with and to further implement the legislation.

            11. The bill sponsor contact requirements of 2-4-302, MCA, apply and have been fulfilled. Department staff attempted to contact Senator Mary McNally by telephone and left a voicemail message on March 13, 2019, by e-mail on March 11, 2019, and by regular USPS mail on March 15, 2019.

 

            12. Regarding the requirements of 2-4-111, MCA, the department has determined that the amendment of ARM 24.101.413 will not significantly and directly impact small businesses.
