The bill is a joint resolution from the Montana Senate and House of Representatives that requests an interim study to review the survey requirements for aggregated tracts of land. This study aims to address potential confusion surrounding the aggregation of parcels of land before and after the Subdivision and Platting Act of 1973, particularly regarding the interpretation of boundary lines of previously aggregated parcels. The resolution highlights concerns that conflicting interpretations of current statutes could lead to litigation and emphasizes the need for a thorough examination of the historical context, statutory processes, and proposed legislative changes related to tracts of record.

The resolution calls for the Legislative Council to designate an appropriate interim committee or allocate staff resources to conduct the study, which will include input from various stakeholders such as the Montana Association of Planners and the Montana Department of Transportation. The study is required to be completed and reported to the 69th Legislature by September 15, 2024, with findings and recommendations aimed at clarifying the statute and potentially guiding future legislative changes.
