LC 1381 Legislature · 2025 Regular Session

Provide authority for patrol officers to make arrests on capitol complex

This bill authorizes patrol officers to make arrests and serve warrants on the Montana Capitol Complex, treating them the same as police officers in that location. It amends existing state law to extend arrest authority to patrol officers for offenses occurring on the Capitol grounds or involving motor vehicles. The change applies immediately upon passage and approval, allowing patrol officers to enforce laws and execute warrants within the Capitol complex without needing additional designation.
