The bill mandates that the Montana State Hospital must provide immediate and unlimited access to legislators at all times. This requirement arises from the hospital's loss of federal certification due to serious health and safety issues, including a significant number of patient deaths and falls. The bill recognizes that many patients at the hospital face cognitive challenges that hinder their ability to advocate for themselves, thus emphasizing the role of legislators in advocating for vulnerable constituents.

Additionally, while legislators are granted access, they 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 during their visits. The bill is intended to be codified as part of Title 53, chapter 21, part 6 of Montana law, ensuring that these provisions are integrated into existing legal frameworks.
