HB715

Revise injunction laws

Vetoed·5/8/25

Montana HB715 revises injunction laws, aligning them with federal standards and clarifying procedures for environmental reviews.

Montana HB715 revises injunction laws to mirror federal standards for mandatory preliminary injunctions. It specifies conditions under which temporary restraining orders, preliminary injunctions, and permanent injunctions can be granted. The bill also reorganizes existing statutory language for readability and clarifies the nature of prohibitory injunctions. Environmental reviews must follow a systematic, interdisciplinary approach and cannot include evaluations of greenhouse gas emissions unless conducted jointly with a federal agency.
