The bill amends Section 13-38-202 of the Montana Code Annotated to clarify the term of a precinct committee representative. It establishes that the term begins on the date the election is certified by the county and ends on the certification of the subsequent election. This replaces the previous language that stated the term lasted for two years from the date of election or appointment, with the new language specifying that in the case of an appointment, the term will conclude on the certification of the next election.

Additionally, the bill maintains that vacancies in the office of precinct committee representative can only occur due to the death, written resignation, or loss of residency or voter registration of the incumbent. The remaining members of the county central committee are empowered to select a precinct resident to fill any vacancy that arises. Overall, the bill aims to provide clearer guidelines regarding the terms and conditions of service for precinct committee representatives.
