LC 1429 Legislature · 2025 Regular Session

Establish a study commission on the Montana constitution

This bill creates a 12-member Montana Constitution Study Commission to examine the state's 1972 constitution. The commission, appointed by the House speaker (5 members), Senate president (5 members), and governor (2 members), will study why the constitution has been amended nearly 40 times, identify provisions conflicting with the U.S. Constitution, and assess historical convention processes. The commission must complete its work by September 15, 2026, and report findings to the legislative council. This study directly affects Montanans by analyzing foundational governance rules that have shaped state law and frequent constitutional amendments over 53 years.
