The bill amends Section 17-5-205 of the Montana Code Annotated (MCA) to extend the application of the Bond Validating Act to bonds issued and proceedings taken prior to the effective date of the act, which is set to be immediate upon passage and approval. Specifically, the bill removes the previous cutoff date of March 16, 2023, allowing for a broader application of the act to include earlier bonds and proceedings.

This legislative change aims to ensure that bonds issued before the specified date are validated under the Bond Validating Act, thereby providing legal clarity and support for financial transactions that may have occurred prior to the original cutoff. The bill is introduced at the request of the Department of Administration and is designed to enhance the effectiveness of the existing bond validation framework in Montana.
