The Montana Legislature is one of the three branches of state government in Montana, charged with crafting the laws needed to maintain public order and security. In the state's government structure, the Legislature enacts policy, while the executive branch enforces laws and the judiciary interprets them. The organization comprises five entities: the Legislative Audit Division, Legislative Fiscal Division, Legislative Services Division, the House, and the Senate, and it maintains year-round staff in the first three divisions while the House and Senate operate with staff for a four-month window every other year as part of a part-time framework. Based in Helena, Montana, the Legislature serves as a central component of the state's lawmaking process. Recent public reporting notes state government initiatives such as the launch of the eStop Business Licenses Portal, reflecting ongoing modernization of public services.
