Montana
Montana is an SAA state and is not right-to-work. The Dept. of Labor and Industry's Business Standards Division administers licensing for electricians through the Montana State Electrical Board, and for plumbers through the Montana Board of Plumbers. HVAC contractors are licensed through the same department, although no separate state HVAC examination is required.
