No lawyer seat on quasi-judicial boards

The law removes the rule that at least one member of a state quasi-judicial board must be a Montana-licensed attorney. Boards designated in 2-15-124 no longer need a lawyer seat. Appointing authorities can choose non-lawyers based on other skills. The change takes effect on passage and approval.
