Excerpts from Treasure State Resources Association News, December 2020
The Montana Legislative Session will kick off on Monday, January 4, 2021. Republicans enjoy large majorities in both the House of Representatives and the Montana Senate. Montana will also swear in a new Governor, Greg Gianforte, and other statewide elected officials following a Republican sweep of all major offices.
Legislative Bill Draft Requests:
The number of bill draft requests for the 67th Legislative Session is approaching 2000. The deadline for unlimited requests has passed, but legislators can continue to submit requests as the session approaches. A significant number of the requests are broad in title, serving as placeholders for more targeted language to come.
