Senate Joint Resolution No. 43 requests an interim study on the implementation of the Montana Criminal Justice Data Warehouse, which was established by the 2023 Legislature through Senate Bill No. 11. The resolution calls for the Legislative Council to assign the study to the Criminal Justice Oversight Council, which will evaluate the progress of the data warehouse, gather stakeholder perspectives, and assess the distribution of legislative funding. The study aims to ensure that the project aligns with legislative intent and supports strategic spending.

The Criminal Justice Oversight Council is tasked with reviewing the history of the data warehouse, examining its current implementation status, and determining both short-term and long-term goals for the project. The council is required to gather input from various stakeholders, including courts, law enforcement agencies, and correctional facilities. The study's findings, conclusions, and recommendations must be reported to the 70th Legislature by September 15, 2026.
