Montana Term Limit Law Clarified

On Wednesday(January 11th), Attorney General Steve Bullock released an opinion concerning Montana's term limits. The opinion allows Montana candidates that have not finished their mandated eight-year break from politics to file for office, but only if they will have completed an eight-year break for every 16-years of service by the time they take office again. Opinions by the Attorney General have the weight of law unless overturned by a court or made inapplicable by a change of law in the legislature.
