This bill establishes new reporting requirements for executive, legislative, and judicial branch agencies regarding requests for information made under Article II, Section 9 of the Montana Constitution and Title 2, Chapter 6. The legislation mandates that these branches provide detailed accounts of the efforts and expenses incurred in fulfilling such information requests, thereby enhancing transparency and accountability in government operations.

Additionally, the bill includes a provision for a delayed effective date, allowing time for the necessary adjustments to be made by the affected agencies. This initiative aims to improve public access to government information and ensure that the processes for handling requests are adequately documented and reported.
