• Abstract:
  Montana saw a significant reduction in fatalities on the roadways of Montana this past year. Thirty-three fewer people lost their lives in 2004 than in 2003. Still 229 individuals lost their lives in traffic crashes and that is unacceptable. There was a huge push in this legislative session to pass traffic safety measures that would hopefully help us to save lives through engineering, education and enforcement. While some bills did not pass, there were a few of them that did and they will assist all of us in helping to keep the fatalities, injuries and property damage crashes down. The GDL bill and open container bill did pass through the legislature and will help in reducing the attitude that Montana has had regarding drinking and driving. The Primary seat belt law did not pass but put up quite the showing with many people and organizations supporting this important piece of legislation. Through a lot of hard work from the Attorney Generals office, legislature and the Patrol we are on the verge of passing HB 35, which would provide a way to recruit and retain qualified individuals with the Patrol. Along with this is a manpower addition that would allow us to hire an additional 20 officers per year for the next 4 years.
