LC 41 Legislature · 2025 Regular Session

Generally revise criminal justice laws

This bill (LC 41) changes how courts handle offenders with prior suspended or deferred felony sentences who face new felony charges in a different county. It allows a county attorney to file a petition requesting that the revocation case for the prior sentence be transferred to the county where the new felony charge occurred, so both cases are heard together. The bill amends Montana law to specify that such petitions must be filed with the sentencing court and served to relevant parties, including the original sentencing county. This primarily affects offenders who received suspended or deferred sentences in one county but are charged with a new felony in another, streamlining their case handling.
