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 the purpose of 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" requirements, and the addition of offenders who are "charged with" these offenses, broadening the scope of individuals subject to monitoring. The bill also outlines the responsibilities of the Montana Board of Crime Control in administering the program, which includes identifying funding priorities, monitoring expenditures, evaluating service effectiveness, and adopting necessary rules for implementation.
