Terms Used In Montana Code > Title 37 > Chapter 1 > Part 1 - Duties and Authority of Department, Director, and Boards

  • Appropriation: The provision of funds, through an annual appropriations act or a permanent law, for federal agencies to make payments out of the Treasury for specified purposes. The formal federal spending process consists of two sequential steps: authorization
  • Board: means a licensing board created under Title 2, chapter 15, that regulates a profession or occupation and that is administratively attached to the department as provided in 2-15-121. See Montana Code 37-1-130
  • Board action: means a policy, rule, or other action taken by a board subject to subsection (1)(d). See Montana Code 37-1-121
  • Commissioner: means the commissioner of labor and industry unless otherwise specified. See Montana Code 37-1-121
  • Complaint: A written statement by the plaintiff stating the wrongs allegedly committed by the defendant.

  • Department program: means a program administered by the department pursuant to this title and not affiliated with a board. See Montana Code 37-1-130
  • Equitable: Pertaining to civil suits in "equity" rather than in "law." In English legal history, the courts of "law" could order the payment of damages and could afford no other remedy. See damages. A separate court of "equity" could order someone to do something or to cease to do something. See, e.g., injunction. In American jurisprudence, the federal courts have both legal and equitable power, but the distinction is still an important one. For example, a trial by jury is normally available in "law" cases but not in "equity" cases. Source: U.S. Courts
