The bill amends Section 13-38-201 of the Montana Code Annotated to revise the rules regarding the appointment or election of committee representatives for political parties. A key provision of the bill states that an individual may not be appointed or elected to serve as a committee representative for more than one political party during the same two-year term. This change aims to ensure that committee representatives maintain a clear affiliation with a single political party, thereby promoting integrity and reducing potential conflicts of interest.

In addition to this new restriction, the bill outlines the procedures for the election or appointment of committee representatives at primary elections, including provisions for handling vacancies and tie votes. The bill retains existing rules regarding the election process, such as the requirement for committee representatives to be residents and registered voters of their precincts, while also allowing political parties to appoint representatives according to their own rules. Overall, the bill seeks to clarify and streamline the process of selecting committee representatives within Montana's political framework.
