House Bill No. introduced by R. Gregg establishes a new method for calculating attorney fees awarded against government entities in Montana. The bill stipulates that in legal actions where attorney fees are assessed against the state, political subdivisions, or their agencies, the fees must not exceed the hourly salary rate of the attorney general, as determined under existing law, multiplied by the number of hours the attorney worked on the case.

Additionally, the bill includes a codification instruction indicating that this new section will be integrated into Title 25, chapter 10, part 7 of the Montana Code Annotated. The act is set to take effect immediately upon passage and approval.
