Interim study on bolstering public participation in the session/legislature

HJ 38 is a joint resolution requesting an interim study to improve public access to Montana's legislative process. It directs a legislative committee to examine website accessibility (including the new bill-tracking system), public comment procedures, consistency in committee testimony rules, and barriers for Montanans with disabilities. The study must report findings to the 70th Legislature by September 2026, incorporating feedback from the public, legislators, staff, and disability advocates. The resolution was tabled and died in committee on May 22, 2025.
