The bill mandates that legislators have immediate and unlimited access to the Montana State Hospital at all times. This access is intended to enable legislators to advocate for vulnerable patients, many of whom may have cognitive challenges that prevent them from advocating for themselves. While accessing the facility, legislators must adhere to the hospital's routine security and safety procedures and are required to prioritize the health, dignity, privacy, and welfare of the patients.

Additionally, the bill includes a codification instruction indicating that the new access provisions will be integrated into Title 53, chapter 21, part 6 of the Montana Code. This legislative change comes in response to the hospital's loss of federal certification due to health and safety concerns, highlighting the need for increased oversight and advocacy for the patients residing there.
