The bill is a joint resolution from the Montana Senate and House of Representatives that requests an interim study of guardianship issues within the state. It highlights concerns regarding the current system of guardianships and conservatorships, noting that many court-appointed individuals lack the necessary training and experience to effectively perform their duties. The resolution draws comparisons to programs in other states, such as Oregon and Minnesota, which have implemented auditing and training initiatives to improve oversight and reduce costs associated with guardianship and conservatorship.

The resolution calls for the Legislative Council to designate an appropriate interim committee to conduct the study, which will encompass a review of existing resources, examination of training and certification programs in other states, identification of potential costs and funding sources, and recommendations for administrative placement of a Montana program. The study is required to involve input from various stakeholders and must be completed by September 15, 2026, with the final results reported to the 70th Legislature.
