Eliminate the ability of certain committees to meet during a legislative session

This bill prevents study committees that receive staff support from the Legislative Services Division from holding meetings while the Montana Legislature is in session. The change applies to any committee, council, or task force created by the legislature to study policy issues and make recommendations, except for the legislative council, legislative finance committee, legislative audit committee, and entities authorized by legislative rules. By restricting these committees to operate only during legislative recesses, the bill aims to ensure that staff resources are available for other legislative duties during active sessions. The amendment modifies existing state law to clarify when these committees may meet.
