Revise laws related to Montana Highway Patrol recruitment and retention

This bill (LC 3002) proposed revisions to Montana's laws governing Highway Patrol recruitment and retention. It aimed to address staffing challenges by potentially modifying hiring standards, compensation structures, or retention incentives for officers. However, the bill was drafted but never advanced beyond the committee stage, as it was placed on hold and ultimately died in process in May 2025. No specific provisions were enacted, and the bill did not result in any policy changes for Montana Highway Patrol personnel.
