In 2001, the Montana legislature passed a MontPIRG backed bill to study the creation of a statewide chronic disease tracking system. MontPIRG is now serves on the intern legislative taskforce charged with crafting a system for Montana. The tracking system gives public health officials, health care providers, and communities centralized access to the tools needed to respond to and prevent chronic disease and research and avert environmental threats to public health. The effort is supported by care and environmental professionals, epidemiologists, state agency representatives, legislators and other citizens.
