Regulations Related to Reporting of Communicable Diseases
The Montana legislature specifies the roles and responsibilities of the Montana Department of Public Health & Human Services (MT-DPHHS) through the Montana Code Annotated. In relation to the reporting and control of communicable disease, MCA 50-1-202 (18) grants MT-DPHHS with the authority to “adopt and enforce rules regarding the reporting and control of communicable diseases”. (http://data.opi.mt.gov/bills/mca_toc/50.htm). This responsibility is executed through specific rules in the Administrative Rules of Montana (ARM) [ARM 37.114].
