House Joint Resolution No. 64, introduced by A. Griffith, calls for an interim study to review the election and evaluation processes for judges and justices in Montana. The resolution highlights the need for a thorough examination of the current judicial selection methods, considering various options that have been proposed in previous legislative sessions. It emphasizes the importance of transparency in the judicial selection system and aims to explore alternative methods of electing judges, conducting evaluations, and informing the public about judicial candidates.

The resolution requests that the Legislative Council designate an appropriate interim committee to carry out this study, which should include input from various stakeholders such as retired judges, representatives from the Governor's office, and members of the public. The study is required to be completed by September 15, 2026, with the final results, including any findings and recommendations, to be reported to the 70th Legislature.
