LC 2402 Legislature · 2025 Regular Session

Allow counties to pay reserve deputy sheriff's officers

This bill allows Montana counties to establish a salary for reserve deputy sheriff officers, which was previously not permitted under existing law. The measure amends state code to give county commissioners the authority to set compensation rates for these part-time law enforcement officers. Counties that employ reserve deputies can now create a formal pay structure through their county compensation boards, providing these volunteers with financial compensation for their service. The change applies to all Montana counties and directly affects county officials who oversee reserve deputy programs.
