WHAT IS MEPA? MEPA IS THE MONTANA ENVIRONMENTAL POLICY ACT. ITS PURPOSE IS TO: "enrich the understanding of the ecological systems and natural resources important to the state" "promote efforts that will prevent, mitigate, or eliminate damage to the environment and biosphere" "encourage productive and enjoyable harmony between humans and their environment" "protect the right to use and enjoy private property free of undue government regulation" IN HELD V. MONTANA (2024), THE MONTANA SUPREME COURT AFFIRMED THAT MEPA IS ESSENTIAL TO UPHOLDING THE RIGHT TO A CLEAN AND HEALTHFUL ENVIRONMENT.
PROPOSED CHANGES HB 229: Rep. Debo Powers, D-Kalispell Intended to align MEPA with the Held decision. Renews agency ability to consider climate impacts in their environmental reviews, including carbon emissions. HB 285: Rep. Brandon Ler, R-Savage Asserts that the Legislature should control MEPA, not the courts. Would replace judicial review with legislative interpretation of the Constitution pertaining to MEPA. HB 270: Rep. Katie Zolnikov, R-Billings Clarifies remedies for MEPA non-compliance. Provides the courts with plain language to decide legal issues regarding permitting. HB 346: Rep. Paul Tuss, D-Havre Exempts Department of Commerce grants and loans from environmental review required under MEPA. SB 221: Sen. Wylie Galt, R-Martinsdale Codifies definitions of fossil fuel projects and greenhouse gas emissions. Directs the Department of Environmental Quality to develop guidance for when and how emissions assessments should be conducted.
MEPA (Montana Environmental Policy Act) ensures that our state agencies operate with the environment in mind. After the Held decision, MEPA was affirmed as essential to protecting our environment.
