New county districts for state appointments

The law revises which counties make up two districts used to appoint members to the Board of Public Education, the Board of Regents, the Coal Board, and the Hard-Rock Mining Impact Board. District 1 includes: Lincoln, Flathead, Glacier, Sanders, Lake, Mineral, Missoula, Ravalli, Powell, Granite, Deer Lodge, Silver Bow, Jefferson, Broadwater, Beaverhead, Madison, Gallatin, Park, Sweet Grass, Stillwater, and Carbon. District 2 includes: Glacier, Toole, Liberty, Hill, Blaine, Phillips, Valley, Daniels, Sheridan, Roosevelt, Richland, McCone, Garfield, Petroleum, Fergus, Judith Basin, Cascade, Chouteau, Teton, Pondera, Lewis and Clark, Jefferson, Broadwater, Meagher, Park, Sweet Grass, Wheatland, Golden Valley, Stillwater, Carbon, Musselshell, Treasure, Rosebud, Custer, Prairie, Dawson, Wibaux, Fallon, Carter, Powder River, Big Horn, and Yellowstone. Some counties appear in both districts under the law. The new districts apply only to vacancies after the law’s effective date, and current members keep serving.
