Montana SB284 revises district court laws by combining the 10th and 14th judicial districts, resulting in a single 10th district. The bill also adds an additional judge to the 13th district, bringing the total to nine judges. The bill specifies that if a vacancy occurs in the 10th or 14th district after a certain date, the remaining judge will serve the newly configured 10th district. The governor must appoint a new judge for the 13th district, subject to senate confirmation. The bill outlines the distribution of judges across various districts and sets an effective date for these changes.
