Washington, D.C. 20515 Washington, D.C. 20515 Dear Majority Leader Schumer, Minority Leader McConnell, Speaker Pelosi, and House Minority Leader McCarthy: We are writing you today to urge you to reject the “For the People Act” otherwise known as H.R. 1 or S. 1, which is a dangerous overreach by the federal government into the administration of elections. Each state legislature should have the freedom and flexibility to determine practices that best meet the needs of their respective states. A one-size-fits-all approach mandated by Congress is not the solution to any of our problems. These bills intrude upon our constitutional rights, and further sacrifice the security and integrity of the elections process. We firmly believe the authority to legislate and regulate these changes should be left with the states. H.R. 1 and S. 1 blatantly undermine the extensive work we, as election officials, have completed in order to provide safe, accessible voting options for our constituencies.

  • 2021 Montana Legislature Begins
    January 9, 2021 2021 Montana Legislature Begins Monday, January 4th, marked the first day of the 67th Montana State Legislature and for the next 90 days our focus will be on state policy and the accompanying political debate. With a little over 3,000 bill requests, many of them considered ‘placeholders’ that may or may not become bill drafts, will command the attention of both legislators and concerned citizens. Monday also marked statewide offices being sworn in. Governor Gianforte spoke on his commitment to growing the states economy, lowering taxes, improving the state’s infrastructure and state spending. Austin Knudsen now serves as the Attorney General, Christi Jacobsen as Secretary of State, Troy Downing as Auditor and Elsie Arntzen is serving her second term as Superintendent of Public Instruction Legislators were sworn in via Zoom and in-person. COVID-19 protocols will look different based on the legislator’s preference and location of hearing. Montana Democrats priorities include protecting Medicaid expansion, support for families due to COVID impacts and funding infrastructure projects. Montana Republicans priorities include budget, gun rights, restrict access to abortion, public lands, private sector healthcare and broader local control for education. Both parties want to work on expanding broadband access and investing in career technical training. The 2021 session also has an eight member, legislative leadership COVID-19 response panel. They will meet on a regular basis as they navigate the session. Remote participation is highly encouraged. Public testimony is a valuable resource for legislators.

Mont. Dep’t of Revenue, 2018 MT 306, 393 Mont. 466, ___ P.3d ___, concluding that § 15-30- 3111, MCA (the Tax Credit Program), was unconstitu- tional because it violated Article X, Section 6, of the Montana Constitution. Appellees (collectively, Plain- tiffs) filed a Motion to Stay Judgment Pending United States Supreme Court Review. Appellant, the Depart- ment of Revenue (the Department), filed a response in- dicating it does not oppose a reasonable stay to allow for efficient administration of the Tax Credit Program. The Department represents that it has already com- pleted state tax returns, forms, and instructions for tax App. 2 year 2018, which provide taxpayers with the ability to claim tax credits based on their donations to Student Scholarship Organizations. The Department repre- sents that the most efficient course of action would be for it to administer the Tax Credit Program in tax year 2018. This Court has authority to stay or postpone judgment to prevent disruption of the Department’s efficient administration of the Tax Credit Program. See Mont. Cannabis Indus.
