LC 58 Legislature · 2025 Regular Session

Require judicial standards committee to send investigation referral to House of Representatives

This bill requires Montana's Judicial Standards Commission to send investigation reports and evidence regarding judicial officers to the House of Representatives. It also restricts when the House can make these reports public, allowing release only if the information is used in impeachment proceedings. The changes amend existing state law to clarify the process for investigating complaints against judges and limit public disclosure of investigation details. This affects the judicial oversight process by creating a formal channel for the legislature to receive confidential investigation materials while controlling their public release.
