HB333

Generally revise local law enforcement laws

Complete·5/1/25

Montana HB333 revises local law enforcement service regulations for cities and towns.

Montana HB333 amends local law enforcement service regulations for cities and towns. It mandates that every city and town must have a police department unless a contract or interlocal agreement is in place. If a city or town lacks a police department and cannot reach an agreement with the county sheriff for law enforcement services, the sheriff must provide these services. If an agreement on the price for these services cannot be reached within 30 days, the matter goes to binding arbitration.
