The bill aims to revise existing laws concerning the security for damages when an injunction or restraining order is issued, specifically in relation to the protections afforded by the Montana Constitution regarding the harvesting of wild fish and game. It mandates that judges must collect securities for any injunctions or restraining orders that may reduce these constitutional protections.

To implement these changes, the bill amends Sections 27-19-306 and 87-1-107 of the Montana Code Annotated (MCA). The proposed amendments are designed to ensure that any legal actions that could potentially undermine the rights to harvest wild fish and game are accompanied by appropriate financial securities to safeguard against damages. The bill is set to take effect immediately upon passage.
