AI Summary

This bill is a resolution to confirm Thomas Lee Bruner's appointment as a Workers' Compensation Court Judge in Montana. The resolution specifically confirms the Governor's appointment of Bruner from Whitehall, Montana, to serve a term ending September 8, 2029. This type of legislative action is a standard procedural step required by Montana law (specifically section 5-5-302, MCA) where the state Senate reviews and formally consents to gubernatorial appointments to specific judicial positions. By passing this resolution, the Senate is officially approving Bruner's appointment to the Workers' Compensation Court, which is a specialized court that handles disputes related to workplace injuries and workers' compensation claims. The resolution requires the Secretary of the Senate to deliver copies of the confirmed appointment to both the Secretary of State and the Governor, as mandated by section 5-5-303, MCA.
