Montana HB883 aims to reduce funding for the state supreme court for the biennium beginning July 1, 2025. It prohibits the transfer of appropriations or appropriation authority to the state supreme court from district court functions. If HB883 and another appropriation act are both passed, the appropriations in those acts to the state supreme court are void. If only HB883 is passed, the appropriation for the state supreme court is set at $18 million. The act takes effect immediately upon passage and approval.
