New rules to fill Montana judicial commission seats
The Speaker appoints three House members to a nomination panel within 3 days of each regular session. At least one panel member is from the minority party. If a panel seat becomes vacant, the Speaker may name a replacement. When a commission seat that is filled from district court judges opens or is about to, the Speaker notifies the judges. The judges send a list of all who want to serve. The panel reviews qualifications and sends at least three names to the Speaker, who picks one. Panel members serve until the next regular session starts unless reappointed. The panel can meet between sessions to fill vacancies. The law takes effect on passage and approval.
