LC 1372 Legislature · 2025 Regular Session

Generally revise laws related to state hospital

This bill requires legislators to have immediate, unlimited access to the Montana State Hospital at all times. It applies to all state legislators and ensures they can visit the facility without restriction while still following the hospital's routine security and safety procedures. The legislation also mandates that legislators prioritize and respect the health, dignity, privacy, and welfare of patients during their visits. This measure is designed to enable lawmakers to directly observe conditions at the hospital and advocate for vulnerable patients who may have difficulty speaking for themselves.
