Bill > HB705

This bill modifies Montana's laws regarding county and city central committee procedures, specifically updating the notification process for county conventions. The key change allows county central committee presiding officers to send convention call notifications through electronic mail instead of being limited to traditional mail. The bill maintains that notifications must be sent at least 4 days before the convention date and specifies that the notification must be sent to each precinct committee representative. Other provisions of the bill preserve existing rules about committee organization, such as requiring that the presiding officer and vice presiding officers be of different genders, allowing for managing or executive committees, and maintaining rules about who can participate in convention proceedings. The bill also retains existing provisions about filling vacancies and electing delegates to state conventions, ensuring that the core organizational structure of county political party committees remains largely unchanged while introducing more flexible communication methods.
