This joint resolution requests an interim study of the Montana State Fund's Plan 3 workers' compensation insurance for state employees. The study aims to address concerns regarding the Fund's oversight, including allegations of impropriety, conflicts of interest, and mishandling of policyholders' funds. The Legislative Council is tasked with designating an appropriate interim or statutory committee to conduct the examination, which will focus on various aspects such as class codes, rates, tiers, discounts, dividends, and the financial incentives for agents acquiring state employee policies.
The resolution emphasizes the importance of collaboration with stakeholders, including business owners and representatives from the Montana State Fund, during the study. It mandates that all aspects of the study be completed by September 15, 2026, and requires that the final results, including findings and recommendations, be reported to the 70th Legislature.
