The bill aims to clarify the authority of counties with a commission form of government to elect their commissioners by district. This legislative change is intended to provide a clearer framework for local governance and ensure that the election process aligns with the specific needs and structures of these counties.

To implement this clarification, the bill amends Section 7-3-412 of the Montana Code Annotated (MCA). The new legal language inserted into the current law specifies that counties may choose to elect their commissioners by district, thereby enhancing local representation and governance. There are no deletions from the existing law noted in the bill.
