Missoula County Commissioners to hold hearing on re-adopting existing health code, fees

MISSOULA, Mont. — Missoula County Commissioners are holding a public hearing on re-adopting the existing health code and fees.

Last June, the city and county approved a new joint provision naming county commissioners and city council members as the local governing body for approving health code regulations.

Today's full county commissioners' meeting starts at 2 p.m. at the courthouse.

Last year, there was controversy during the pandemic, about local public health boards mandating public health regulations.

A new state law shifts that power to local governments.
