House Bill No. [insert bill number] aims to eliminate the possibility of recovering damages for injuries or death resulting from a duel. The bill amends Section 27-1-301 of the Montana Code Annotated (MCA) to clarify that the damages prescribed in certain sections are exclusive of exemplary damages and interest, while also repealing Section 27-1-223, which specifically addressed damages for injuries or death inflicted in a duel.

By repealing Section 27-1-223, the bill effectively removes any legal recourse for individuals seeking damages related to duel-related injuries or fatalities. This legislative change reflects a shift in the legal framework surrounding dueling, indicating that such actions will no longer be subject to civil liability in Montana.
