Senate Bill No. introduced by D. Emrich aims to clarify the relationship between case law and legislative action regarding statutory interpretation in Montana. The bill establishes that the precedential value of a court decision interpreting a statute is subordinate to any subsequent legislative action concerning those statutory provisions. This means that if the legislature takes action on a statute, that action will take precedence over previous court interpretations.

Additionally, the bill includes a codification instruction, indicating that the new section regarding case law applicability is intended to be integrated into Title 1, chapter 1, part 1 of the Montana Code. This ensures that the provisions of Title 1, chapter 1, part 1 will apply to the newly established section, reinforcing the legislative intent behind the bill.
