By the close of the 2021 legislative session, the Montana Chamber was able to get four bills aimed at creating a better business climate signed into law.
All four bills were focused on “Tort Reform.” According to lawyerzone.com the tort reform movement is a movement aimed at legally capping the total recovery or damages from a lawsuit against a business.
Among the bills signed into law in 2021 the most significant changes were to the Wrong Discharge Act. Now employers are allowed more discretion when terminating employees.
For this upcoming legislative session, the MT Chamber has nine new bills focused on improving Montana’s business climate, once again largely focused on tort reform.
