Montana HB578 generally revises laws related to restitution by removing an offender's financial resources and future ability to pay from consideration in sentencing. It allows victims to provide information about pecuniary loss or loss of property to a probation officer outside of court order. The bill also modifies when a court may grant a petition to revise restitution. It amends several sections to reflect these changes and ensures that restitution is determined during sentencing without considering the offender's ability to pay.
