Montana HB413 revises election laws to clarify residency requirements for voting and seeking election.
Montana HB413 amends election laws to clarify residency requirements. It specifies that an individual's residence is where they habitually live and intend to return. It prohibits gaining or losing residency due to involuntary public institution stays, prison confinement, or military reservations. Temporary stays for work, training, or education do not establish residency unless there is intent to remain. Armed forces members stationed outside Montana retain residency if they do not intend to change it. The bill is effective immediately upon passage.
