Montana HB693 revises laws for multijudge districts with specialized dockets.
Montana HB693 amends the Montana Code Annotated to revise laws applicable to district courts. It specifies that in judicial districts with more than one judge, multiple terms or sessions can be held simultaneously in numbered departments. Judges must divide court business equally, and if they fail to do so, the supreme court can issue an order to apportion the business and assign judges to departments. The bill also allows judges in districts with more than five judges to implement specialized dockets among departments.
