  90-3-1301. Geothermal research. (1) Subject to subsection (2), the Montana bureau of mines and geology may conduct geothermal research that:  (a) characterizes the geothermal resource base in Montana;   (b) tests high-temperature and high-pressure drilling technologies benefiting geothermal well construction; and   (c) determines reservoir characterization, monitoring, and modeling necessary for commercial application in Montana.   (2) If the research is conducted on private property, the bureau must have written agreements with:   (a) the surface property owner and any owners of the geothermal resource for access and use of the site for research purposes; and   (b) subject to subsections (3) and (4), the utility, as defined in 69-5-102, with a service area nearest the research site if the utility intends to commercially develop the site.   (3) If the utility with a service area nearest the research site intends to develop the site for future commercial use, the utility shall:   (a) contribute, at a minimum, 25% of the research costs as determined by the bureau for research at the site; and   (b) have an agreement in place with the surface property owner and any owners of the geothermal resource where the research site is located for future development of the geothermal resource.   (4) If the utility with a service area nearest the research site does not intend to develop the site for commercial use, the utility with a service area next nearest the site may enter into a written agreement pursuant to subsection (2)(b). If a utility does not intend to develop the site for future commercial use, the agreement pursuant to subsection (2)(b) is not required.   (5) In determining the utility with a service area nearest the site, all measurements must be made on the shortest vector that can be drawn from the line nearest the service area to the nearest portion of the geothermal site.   (6) The bureau shall provide a report to the energy and telecommunications interim committee in accordance with 5-11-210 on research conducted pursuant to this section and funding received pursuant to 90-3-1302.

As the result of overcharges on the sales of domestic crude oil, the federal courts have ordered or approved settlements requiring the repayment of the total amount of overcharges, plus interest, into an escrow account to be distributed by the U.S. treasury to the states, territories, and possessions of the United States. It is the policy of this state to use the oil overcharge money distributed to the state to supplement state and federal programs that the state administers in a manner consistent with federal court orders establishing or approving the payment of the funds to the state of Montana and in accordance with the precedent established by the U.S. congress in appropriating money to federal programs.

  90-4-301. Legislative findings and intent. (1) The legislature finds that energy in various forms is increasingly subject to possible shortages and supply disruptions, to the point that there may be foreseen an emergency situation, and that without the ability to gather information, regularly monitor energy supplies and demand, formulate plans, and institute appropriate emergency measures to reduce or allocate the usage of energy through a program of mandatory usage curtailment or allocation, a severe impact on the health, safety, and general welfare of our state's citizens may occur. The prevention or mitigation of the effects of such energy shortages or disruptions is necessary for preservation of the public health and welfare of the citizens of this state.   (2) It is the intent of this part to:   (a) establish necessary planning, information gathering, and energy emergency powers for the governor and define the conditions under which such powers are to be exercised;   (b) provide for the regular monitoring of energy supplies and demand; however, nothing in this part may be construed to authorize the establishment of an independent state energy forecasting program; and   (c) provide penalties for violations of this part.
