Senate Joint Resolution No. [insert number] seeks to disapprove several rules of practice and procedure adopted by the Montana Supreme Court. The resolution cites Article VII, section 2 of the Montana Constitution, which grants the Supreme Court the authority to establish such rules but also allows for legislative disapproval within two sessions following their promulgation. The specific rules targeted for disapproval include revisions to the Montana Rules of Civil Procedure, the Rules of Appellate Procedure, Uniform District Court Rules, and various other procedural standards and guidelines related to legal education and disciplinary enforcement.

In addition to disapproving these rules, the resolution urges the Montana Supreme Court to provide explanatory testimony regarding the changes to the 69th Legislature. The Secretary of State is tasked with sending copies of the resolution to relevant parties, including the Montana Supreme Court, the State Bar of Montana, the Judicial Standards Commission, and the Montana Judges Association, to ensure that stakeholders are informed of the legislative action taken.
