This bill aims to make the interim budget committees a permanent fixture within the legislative framework. It exempts these committees from interim study assignments, allowing them to focus solely on budget-related matters. The bill amends sections 5-12-301 and 5-12-501 of the Montana Code Annotated (MCA) to reflect these changes and also repeals a specific provision from Chapter 525 of the Laws of 2021.

Additionally, the bill provides for an immediate effective date, ensuring that the changes take effect without delay. This move is intended to streamline the budget process and enhance the efficiency of legislative financial oversight.
