House Bill 563 aims to protect individuals' rights to file or participate in licensing complaint investigations in Montana. The bill stipulates that any contract or agreement that prohibits or discourages the filing of complaints or participation in investigations under specific sections of the law (37-1-308 or 37-1-402) is considered void. Additionally, it establishes that it is unprofessional conduct for a licensee to engage in such contracts or to retaliate against individuals for filing complaints. The bill clarifies that general waivers of claims do not apply to these specific complaints.

The bill includes provisions for codification into Title 37, chapter 1, part 1 of the Montana Code, ensuring that the new regulations are integrated into existing law. It also contains a saving clause, indicating that the act does not affect any rights, duties, or penalties that were established before its effective date. The act is set to take effect immediately upon passage and approval.
