Create Montana Court of Chancery

This bill creates a new Montana Court of Chancery to handle specialized legal matters in business, land use, and constitutional law. The court will have authority to hear cases involving contract disputes, mergers, securities, trade secrets, and challenges to legislative actions, with a minimum dispute amount of $80,000 for certain business cases. Key provisions include a removal process allowing parties to transfer cases from district courts to the chancery court, mandatory use of alternative dispute resolution methods like mediation and arbitration, and a requirement to resolve cases within 150 days unless complexity justifies an extension. The Montana Supreme Court will oversee the court's operations while the governor's office will fund its expenses and staff salaries.
