House Bill 582 revises Montana's sentencing laws by allowing district courts to deny elapsed time credit during revocation proceedings, particularly in cases involving multiple violations. The bill clarifies that offenders can receive credit for time served prior to sentencing only if that time is connected to the same conduct for which they have been convicted. This change aims to ensure that the application of time served credit is fair and directly related to the specific offenses committed.

Additionally, the bill amends sections 46-18-201, 46-18-203, and 46-18-403 of the Montana Code Annotated (MCA) by removing previous mandates for credit for time served before trial or sentencing. The effective date for these changes is set for July 1, 2025, and they will apply to offenders sentenced on or after that date, thereby influencing future sentencing practices and the calculation of time served for convicted individuals.
