The bill amends Section 7-4-2503 of the Montana Code Annotated to allow counties to provide compensation to reserve deputy sheriff's officers. The new legal language specifies that "A reserve deputy sheriff's officer may be compensated in a manner determined by the board of county commissioners." This addition enables counties to establish a compensation structure for reserve deputies, which was not previously addressed in the law.

Additionally, the bill replaces the term "salary" with "compensation" in the context of the provisions for reserve deputy sheriff's officers. This change reflects a broader understanding of compensation that may include various forms of remuneration beyond just salary. Overall, the bill aims to enhance the support and recognition of reserve deputy sheriff's officers by allowing counties the flexibility to compensate them appropriately.
