The State of Montana 9-1-1 Program assists local governments in the development of 9-1-1 emergency systems throughout the state. The program manages the quarterly allocation and distribution of state 9-1-1 revenues and monitors use of the funding by local governments and wireless service providers. 

The new annual 9-1-1 grant program (beginning in state fiscal year 2019) is a state-funded program created by the 2017 Legislature.  The program's legislative purpose is to support the implementation, operation, and maintenance of 9-1-1 systems, equipment, devices, and data.
