Montana

Public records software that already knows Montana's law.

Brandeis ships with a statute profile for the Montana Public Records Act — the response clock, extension rules, exemption citations, and appeal language your AI agents and your staff work from on day one. The law is configuration, not a professional-services project.

10
business days — working target
Montana's statute requires a prompt response rather than a fixed count — so every request is tracked against a target, and the law's own words ride the requester's tracker.
prompt-response statute
No fixed clock to extend — delay itself is the compliance risk, so the nightly sweep watches every request's age.
3
seeded exemption citations
The exemption agent flags passages with Montana's own sections.
1
nightly deadline sweep
An agent watches every open request's clock, every night.
Exemptions, cited not vibed

The agents quote Montana, chapter and verse.

When an AI agent flags a passage for exemption, the flag carries the citation — and a named staffer confirms or dismisses every one. The starter profile seeds the most-cited sections:

Mont. Const. art. II, § 10

Individual privacy balancing (demands of individual privacy clearly exceed public disclosure)

MCA 44-5-303

Confidential criminal justice information

MCA 2-6-1003

Constitutionally protected / statutorily confidential information

If a denial is appealed: Bring an action in district court; the right to know is enforceable directly under the constitution. The appeal-packet agent assembles counsel's dossier straight from the audit log.

Reviewed, then live

Starter profile, finished with your counsel.

Public-records statutes are nuanced. The Montana profile ships as a reviewed starting point — day counts, sections, and appeal language your counsel confirms and tunes per agency before go-live. It is configuration to verify, never legal advice.
