LC 596 Legislature · 2025 Regular Session

Revise laws related to legislative rules

This bill grants the Montana Legislature exclusive authority to create, enforce, and interpret its own internal rules without judicial interference. It prohibits judges from reviewing or interpreting legislative rules unless there is a potential conflict with state or federal constitutions. The law applies to all legislative proceedings and takes effect immediately upon approval. This change limits the power of the judicial branch to oversee how the legislature manages its internal operations.
