The bill aims to revise laws pertaining to the Judicial Standards Commission by removing certain confidentiality provisions related to its procedures. This change is intended to enhance transparency and accountability within the commission's operations. The bill amends several sections of the Montana Code Annotated (MCA), specifically sections 3-1-1105, 3-1-1106, 3-1-1121, 3-1-1123, 3-1-1124, and 3-1-1126, while also repealing section 3-1-1122.

By eliminating the confidentiality provisions, the bill seeks to allow for greater public access to the commission's processes and decisions, potentially fostering increased trust in the judicial system. The amendments and repeal reflect a legislative intent to modernize the commission's framework and ensure that its activities are conducted with a higher degree of openness.
