Dep't of Labor & Industry [12/31/12] 2012 MT 320 The Montana Supreme Court noted that a Hutterite colony could self-insure under § 39-71-2101, MCA, as a means of avoiding excessive entanglement.  The Court found that the recordkeeping required to establish compliance with this state’s workers’ compensation laws constitute a valid regulation of a colony’s commercial activities.
