LC 25 Legislature · 2025 Regular Session

Reduce the number of associate judges on the Supreme Court

This bill proposes reducing the number of associate justices on Montana's Supreme Court from six to four. It achieves this by eliminating two specific judicial seats, preventing their re-election in the November 2028 general election. The changes take effect on January 1, 2029, while preserving the rights and duties of current judges whose terms began before the act's passage. The legislation amends state law to reflect the new court composition without affecting ongoing legal proceedings.
