Complete·5/6/25

Montana HJ45 calls for an interim study on the impact of collateral consequences on criminal record expungement.

Montana HJ45 directs the Legislative Council to conduct an interim study on the collateral consequences of criminal convictions and the challenges of criminal record expungement. The study will review existing laws, investigate discrimination in housing and employment, analyze recidivism rates, and explore state incentive models for expungement-friendly housing. It will also examine criminal record clearance laws in other states and suggest changes to Montana law if needed.
