(Temporary)
(1) The commission shall compile a midterm report for each judge relying on that judge's midterm evaluation. The midterm report may also be based on further information the commission considers useful for purposes of judicial evaluation or self-improvement.
(2) The commission shall provide the midterm report to the evaluated judge, the Montana supreme court, and the court administrator.
(3) (a) The commission may publish a partial midterm report for a judge whose appointment date precludes the collection of complete midterm evaluation data. For a newly appointed judge, a midterm report is considered partial when the midterm evaluation is missing a respondent group.

(c) Prior to a partial midterm report, the commission shall inform the court administrator of judges who will receive a partial report. (Terminates June 30, 2035--sec. 14, Ch. 765, L. 2025.)
