Revise injunction laws
This bill revises Montana's injunction laws by establishing clearer standards for when courts can issue mandatory preliminary injunctions that force a party to take specific actions. It requires courts to evaluate four independent criteria - likelihood of success on the merits, irreparable harm, balance of equities, and public interest - without using flexible federal tests that allow weighing one factor against another. The legislation also clarifies rules for interpersonal injunctions between private individuals and updates existing statutes to align more closely with federal standards for prohibitory injunctions. Additionally, the bill reorganizes related statutory language to improve readability while maintaining the core legal framework for temporary court orders.
