The bill proposes to raise the hourly rate of compensation for legislators by amending Section 5-2-301 of the Montana Code Annotated (MCA). The specific details of the new compensation rate are not provided in the summary, but the amendment aims to ensure that legislators are compensated fairly for their time and efforts in public service.

Additionally, the bill includes a provision that establishes an applicability date, indicating when the new compensation rate will take effect. This change reflects a commitment to updating legislative compensation in accordance with current economic conditions and the responsibilities of legislators.
