The House Resolution introduced by T. Millett calls for the censure and immediate resignation of Bozeman Municipal Judges J. Colleen Herrington and Karolina Tierney due to allegations of official misconduct and malfeasance in office. The resolution outlines a series of events beginning in March 2024, where Judge Tierney ordered bondsman John Looney to pay a bond forfeiture for a bond he neither signed nor was aware of, as he did not own the company at the time. Despite the Commissioner of Securities and Insurance rejecting a complaint against Looney, the judges suspended his bonding privileges, an action they were not authorized to take. The resolution details further misconduct, including attempts to extort Looney by demanding he withdraw his complaints against the judges in exchange for restoring his bonding privileges.

The resolution concludes that the actions of Judges Herrington and Tierney constitute a violation of public trust and are unbecoming of elected officials. It formally censures both judges and calls for their immediate resignation, emphasizing the need for accountability in the judicial system. A copy of the resolution is to be sent to the judges and the Chief Justice of the Montana Supreme Court.
