Montana SB30 revises laws related to judicial recusal and the rule of necessity. It allows parties to request a judicial officer's recusal if they meet specific criteria, such as making contributions to a political committee that supported the judicial officer or opposed their opponent. The bill also prohibits judicial officers from using the rule of necessity to avoid recusal when other officers with less conflict are available. The changes aim to enhance judicial impartiality and transparency.
