Montana HB667 revises labor laws to protect employees seeking public office and those on leave for public service.

Montana HB667 revises labor laws to ensure employers cannot require employees to use leave or benefits during mandatory leave without consent, nor can they perform work during such leave. Employers cannot prohibit employees from seeking election or appointment to public office, nor can they retaliate or discriminate against employees for such actions. If employers provide company phones or computers for personal use, they cannot restrict employees from using these tools during leave for public office. The bill codifies these provisions as part of Title 39, Chapter 2, Part 1.
