Legislators get anytime access, must respect privacy

The law gives any Montana legislator immediate, unlimited access to the state hospital at all times. Entry still follows the hospital’s normal security and safety checks. While inside, legislators must respect patients’ health, dignity, privacy, and welfare. The law sets access and conduct rules but does not change patient care or add funding.
