Interim study of noxious weed control

This joint resolution requests an interim study to review Montana's current noxious weed control laws and practices. It directs a committee to examine existing statutes across eight different legal areas (including weed control, land management, and public lands), research other states' approaches, and gather input from stakeholders like district weed boards, agricultural groups, and tribal governments. The study aims to clarify confusing rules, update terminology, and propose modernized legislation for the 70th Legislature. It does not create new law but sets the stage for future legislative action. The committee must complete the study and submit recommendations by September 2026.
