This bill, requested by the State Auditor, aims to revise various laws under the supervision of the State Auditor, particularly focusing on securities and insurance regulations. Key provisions include the revision of securities laws to enhance the disclosure of financial exploitation of older individuals and the authorization of the Securities Assistance Restitution Fund to assert claims for restitution. Additionally, the bill revises laws related to insurance, such as removing certain service of process fees, updating the appointment process for foreign or alien societies, and establishing a risk list that the commissioner must maintain. It also addresses pharmacy services administrative organizations and the Montana Reinsurance Association, allowing the commissioner to perform certain duties and revise reimbursement and expense laws.

Furthermore, the bill introduces new definitions, such as "title guarantee," and grants the commissioner the authority to order restitution related to title insurance. It also mandates coverage for specific oral therapy prescriptions related to opioid use disorders and transfers certain statutory duties from the Department of Public Health and Human Services to the Commissioner of Securities and Insurance regarding managed care plan network adequacy. The bill includes amendments to numerous sections of the Montana Code Annotated (MCA) and repeals specific sections, with provisions for effective dates and applicability.
