Revise county clerk and recorder election laws

SB 128 prevents Montana county governing bodies from removing election administration duties from the county clerk and recorder during that official's current term in office. The bill amends state law to clarify that while counties can transfer these duties for future terms, they cannot do so while the clerk is currently serving. It also allows clerks to voluntarily give up election duties during their current term and specifies that the county clerk remains the primary election administrator responsible for voter records and federal election compliance. The law would have taken effect immediately upon passage.
