House Bill No. 913 aims to implement several provisions, including increasing the number of district court judges in Montana and establishing a daily rate for detention centers. Specifically, the bill amends the number of judges in various judicial districts, increasing the number of judges in the 13th district from eight to ten. Additionally, it mandates the Department of Corrections to report on communications at the Montana State Prison, focusing on reducing inappropriate or illicit communications with inmates. The bill also includes an interim study on the consolidation of legal services across state agencies and discrepancies in compensation for legal occupations.

The bill removes provisions for an interim study of state offender individual re-entry services and revises legal representation and costs associated with children in child abuse and neglect cases. It also specifies that the actual daily cost for detention centers will be set at $85.30, replacing the previous rate of $82. The bill outlines the responsibilities of various agencies regarding the payment of costs associated with detention and establishes a timeline for reporting and studying these issues, with certain sections set to terminate by September 30, 2026. The effective date for the bill is July 1, 2025.
