House Bill No. introduced by E. Stafman aims to establish regulations regarding the conduct of judges and judicial candidates in relation to political party contributions and endorsements. The bill explicitly prohibits judges and judicial candidates from knowingly seeking, accepting, using, advertising, promoting, or otherwise benefiting from any contributions or endorsements from political parties. This measure is intended to maintain the integrity and impartiality of the judiciary by preventing potential conflicts of interest that could arise from political affiliations.

Additionally, the bill includes a codification instruction, indicating that the new regulations will be integrated into Title 13, chapter 35, part 2 of the Montana legal code. This ensures that the provisions outlined in the bill will be formally recognized and enforced within the existing legal framework.
