RECOMMENDATIONS 



The Montana Legislative Council recommends: 



1. That the Livestock Sanitary Board impose a 

 selective fee for tests performed by the Diagnostic 

 Laboratory on animals not subject to tax assessment 

 as commercial livestock. 



2. That Montana law requiring grain protein testing 

 and USDA grading at the Bozeman Grain Lab be 

 amended so as to make the Montana State Grain 

 Inspection Laboratory the only official labora- 

 tory authorized to perform these functions . 



3. That laboratory administrators in the Department 

 of Agriculture and the Agricultural Experiment 

 Station conduct a detailed review of the operating 

 expenses of each laboratory under their control 

 and make adjustments to laboratory fee schedules 

 where necessary to make such fees reflective of 

 all direct and indirect costs incurred in pro- 

 viding the services for which each fee is charged. 



4. That the Department of Institutions investigate 

 means of consolidating clinical laboratory functions 

 between the Galen and Warm Springs Hospitals and 

 submit their findings to the 43rd Montana Legisla- 

 tive Assembly . 



5. That the Laboratory Division of the Department 



of Health and Environmental Sciences be relocated 

 on the campus of one of the units of the Montana 

 University System. 



That if such a relocation is effected, the Criminal 

 Investigation Laboratory be integrated into any new 

 facility acquired to house the Laboratory Division.
