This bill establishes a legal cause of action for alienation of affection, allowing an injured spouse to seek damages when the loss of affection or consortium is caused by the wrongful act of another party. It introduces a new section that permits such actions, effectively reversing the previous legal stance that abolished this cause of action under Section 27-1-601 of the Montana Code Annotated, which is now repealed.

Additionally, the bill includes provisions for codification, indicating that the new law will be integrated into Title 27, chapter 1, part 5 of the Montana Code. It also specifies that the act will take effect immediately upon passage and approval, and it will apply retroactively to claims that accrued within three years prior to the effective date.
