Complete·5/5/25

Montana HB611 revises salaries for certain elected officials based on a comparative survey.

Montana HB611 amends the salaries of certain elected officials, including the governor, lieutenant governor, attorney general, and others, by setting their pay based on a survey of similar officials in neighboring states. The Department of Administration conducts this survey biennially, comparing salaries of officials in North Dakota, South Dakota, Wyoming, and Idaho. If the average salary of these officials exceeds the Montana official's salary, the new salary for the Montana official takes effect the following July 1.
