A: The time it takes for a judge to sign off on a conditional release in Montana can vary based on several factors, including the court's caseload, the complexity of the case, and the specific conditions being proposed for the release. Generally, once a request for conditional release is submitted to the court, it goes through a review process that involves considering factors such as the individual's criminal history, the nature of the offense, and the proposed release conditions.

In some cases, the judge may be able to review and sign off on a conditional release relatively quickly, especially if the request is straightforward and uncontested. However, if there are any legal or administrative complexities, it could take more time for the judge to review the request thoroughly and make an informed decision.
