This bill amends Section 10-1-104 of the Montana Code Annotated (MCA) to adopt the most recent federal military laws, regulations, and codes that govern the Montana National Guard. Specifically, it updates the reference date for the applicable federal laws and the Uniform Code of Military Justice from October 1, 2023, to October 1, 2025. The bill ensures that these federal regulations apply to the Montana National Guard, including all members on active duty as active duty guard/reserve (AGR) personnel under Title 32 of the United States Code, as long as they do not conflict with state laws or regulations.

Additionally, the bill establishes that it will apply to events and proceedings that occur on or after the new applicability date of October 1, 2025. This legislative change is intended to keep the governance of the Montana National Guard aligned with the most current federal military standards and practices.
