Board Meetings
The Board meets as needed or as called by the chairperson or a majority of the members. Depending upon the issues before the Board, the meetings may be held in various locations throughout the State (http://data.opi.state.mt.us/bills/mca_toc/90_6_3.htm). All meetings are open to the public and are announced on the Department of Commerce e-calendar (Hard Rock Mining Board Meetings Public Events Calendar). Public comment on any public matter that is within the jurisdiction of the Board will be allowed at all Board meetings. The opportunity for public comment will be reflected on the meeting agenda and incorporated into the official minutes of the meeting. Board meetings are held at facilities that are fully accessible to persons with disabilities. Any person needing reasonable accommodations must notify the Coal Board at 406-841-2782 or TDD at 406-841-2702 before the scheduled meeting to allow for arrangements.
