HB324

Montana HB324 revises voluntary payment laws to include all claims and clarifies legislative policy on voluntary payments.

Montana HB324 amends the Montana Code Annotated to revise voluntary payment laws, ensuring they apply to all claims. It specifies that voluntary payments made before a judgment are credited against the judgment amount. The bill also clarifies that voluntary payments do not constitute an admission of fault or liability, except in certain bad faith insurance actions. This act applies to liability claims accruing on or after October 1, 2025.
