The bill amends Section 1-11-204 of the Montana Code Annotated to revise the duties of the Code Commissioner. It mandates that the Code Commissioner include recommendations for legislation aimed at eliminating laws that have been permanently enjoined and deemed facially unconstitutional by a court. This addition emphasizes the need to remove laws that are no longer in effect due to judicial determinations, thereby streamlining the legal code and ensuring it reflects only valid laws.
In addition to this new requirement, the bill retains existing duties of the Code Commissioner, which include preparing reports on outdated or redundant laws, correcting errors and inconsistencies, and maintaining the Montana Code Annotated. The bill aims to enhance the efficiency and clarity of the state's legal framework by ensuring that unconstitutional laws are systematically removed from the code.
