PREFACE AND GUIDE TO USAGE OF 2001 INDEX
The 2001 Montana Code Annotated Index is reflective of substantial revision to the indexing
process. This process is intended to improve the timeliness of the Index while retaining or
enhancing its usefulness. The revision of topics continues between printings. Constructive
criticism and suggestions are welcome.
The Index is designed to be usable by the general public and those familiar with the MCA and
legal terminology. Some features that will help you are described below.
CONTINUAL REVISION
The Montana Code Annotated Index is continually revised and printed after each legislative
session to eliminate obsolete references to repealed laws, to integrate references for new
legislation, and to correct references for temporary or amended legislation. Pocket part
supplements are not necessary since the Index is printed in its entirety each time.
FORMAT AND GENERAL CONTENT
Entries in this Index are derived mainly from the language employed by the legislature and the
public in reference to the law, from legal terminology in common use in the courts of Montana,
and from the language used in the legal profession. However, this Index does not cover every
topic in the broad field of law, but refers only to the constitutional and statutory provisions
contained in the Montana Code Annotated. While this may be the first publication used for
research, it should not be the only one. Use of this Index as a means of accessing the statutes is
reflective of the organization and terminology of the code.
Entries appear with variations in type face and indentation to help you locate them easily. All
entries in this Index are in strict alphabetical letter-by-letter arrangement as opposed to
word-by-word. Punctuation is open, with predominant use of commas. Semicolons are used to
separate section number citations from Title, chapter, part citations, or to separate subject
heading cross-references. Confusion may occur when you are looking at the right word but the
wrong level. Pay close attention to the appearance and position of the words themselves.
Broader references, such as ‘Title, chapter, part”, are included to allow a user to access a subject
area without looking for a specific statute reference. A person may then use the table of
contents method to find a specific statute.
MAIN SUBJECT HEADINGS
Main subject headings appear in boldface capital letters and flush with the left margin. Always
locate the main subject heading first. Main subject headings are formed as one of the following:
Topical: covering all references concerning a broad field of law.
Descriptive: describing persons, places or things; e.g. MIDWIVES; WEAPONS.
Conceptual: reflecting a concept or mental image associated with the statutory language; e.g.
NEGLIGENCE; TORTS.
Colloquial: e.g. LEMON LAW; BED TAX
pircsta
SUBLEVELS
Level 1 sublevels under the main subject headings appear in boldface with the initial letter
capitalized, and flush with the left margin. These are subject areas relevant to the main subject
heading.
Indentation indicates all relative sublevels beneath the Level 1 sublevel. This Index employs 4
levels of indentation. All of the indented entries appear in lowercase type and without boldface
(except “God”, “Montana”, and specific acronyms) and are directly relevant to the level above
them.
An example:
INSURERS REGULATION GENERALLY (main subject heading)
Policies (level 1 sublevel)
assignability, 33-15-414 (sublevels, both of which relate to “Policies”)
content
general, 33-15-303 (additional sublevels both relating to “content”
permissible, 33-15-304
CROSS-REFERENCES
Cross-references may be easily located by matching type (uppercase or lowercase) style. This
Index does not use the often confusing “ante/post”, “supra/infra”, or “above/below”
designations. Cross-references direct you to other locations within this Index where detailed
treatment of a particular subject will be found. Following are examples of the cross-referencing
used in this index.
FISH, WILDLIFE, AND PARKS — DEPARTMENT OF
Lands or waters, acquisition and sale, 87-1-209, See FISH AND WILDLIFE, Lands or waters
The reference “See FISH AND WILDLIFE, Lands or waters” directs the user to the subject
heading FISH AND WILDLIFE and to the levelon e Lands or waters, which appears in the
same lowercase type style as the cross-reference.
FISH AND WILDLIFE
Bears, 87-2-101, See also Game animals
The reference “See also Game animals” directs the user to the level one Game animals. The
lowercase type face indicates it is in the same main subject heading.
ACTS — CITATION WITHIN INDEX
Acts may be included as main subject headings as well as in the POPULAR NAMES AND
SHORT TITLES INDEX.
STATE AGENCIES AND OFFICIALS
All departments appear as a main subject heading but contain broad Title, chapter, part
references regarding their duties. All officials appear as a main subject heading. Boards and
commissions have been reduced to broad references unless the board or commission has major
substantive functions such as the Public Service Commission, which appears as a main subject
heading.
MONTANA CONSTITUTION
The index to the 1972 Montana Constitution appears as a unit in the main subject heading
CONSTITUTION OF MONTANA. References to the Constitution also appear throughout the
General Index under the appropriate subject headings and are integrated with statute citations
to enable more complete and unified research of a given topic.
The index WORDS AND PHRASES DEFINED IN CODE is a comprehensive listing of each
word or phrase defined in the code. It is a separate index appearing after the General Index.
AME D SH I D
This is a listing by popular name or short title of each act or group of sections having a popular
name or short title, together with a citation to code location. It is a separate index, appearing
after the WORDS AND PHRASES DEFINED IN CODE index.
COMMENTS, SUGGESTIONS, AND CORRECTIONS
An “ideal index” is an endlessly pursuable goal. Your suggestions and comments are welcome
and you are encouraged to communicate them to our office.
Sincerely,
Nadine E. Fox, Chief Indexer
