The bill amends Section 44-7-201 of the Montana Code Annotated to revise the requirements for domestic violence intervention program grants. It allows the Montana Board of Crime Control to provide grants to communities specifically for monitoring compliance with court-ordered requirements for offenders who have been convicted of or charged with certain offenses, including partner or family member assault, strangulation of a partner or family member, and violations of protection orders.

Key changes include the replacement of the term "sentencing" with "court-ordered" to clarify the nature of the requirements being monitored. Additionally, the bill expands the scope of offenders eligible for monitoring by including those who are charged with the specified offenses, not just those who have been convicted. The Montana Board of Crime Control is tasked with identifying funding priorities, monitoring expenditures, evaluating program effectiveness, and adopting necessary rules to implement the program.
