Montana Rural Roads, Bridges, and Water Infrastructure Act

This bill establishes a Montana Rural Infrastructure Grant Program within the existing state transportation and water-resource agencies to provide competitive grants for the repair and improvement of roads, bridges, culverts, and publicly owned water systems serving agricultural operations and small communities. Priority shall be given to projects that improve farm-to-market access, address documented safety or water-quality risks, and provide matching funds from local governments, irrigation districts, or other eligible applicants, subject to annual legislative appropriations and standard state procurement and reporting requirements.
