These figures come from our state requirements registry. We hold no statutory citation for Montana yet, and nobody has checked the figures above against a statute text; we would rather say so than invent one. This is a baseline record: we hold the regulatory summary for Montana but have not researched a dated deadline schedule. Requirements change — confirm with your district before relying on them.
