Revise injunction laws
This bill amends Montana law to prohibit courts from using certain legal tests when deciding whether to grant preliminary injunctions or temporary restraining orders. It directly affects judges and litigants involved in civil cases where one party seeks immediate court intervention to stop another party's actions. The key provision requires courts to evaluate four specific factors - likelihood of success on the merits, risk of irreparable harm, balance of equities, and public interest - rather than using alternative methods like the "serious questions test." The legislation also clarifies that courts must follow United States Supreme Court precedent when interpreting these standards.
