The bill proposes the repeal of the Montana Ballot Interference Prevention Act, which includes the elimination of several specific sections from the Montana Code Annotated (MCA). The sections being repealed are 13-35-701, which provides the short title; 13-35-702, which contains definitions; 13-35-703, which prohibits ballot collection with certain exceptions; 13-35-704, which mandates a record of delivery; and 13-35-705, which outlines penalties for violations.
Additionally, the bill establishes an immediate effective date upon passage and approval, ensuring that the repeal takes effect without delay. This legislative action reflects a significant change in the state's approach to ballot collection and related practices.
