  • Senate Hotlist Week 2-8.Docx
    Montana Senate Conservation Hotlist Week 6: February 8, 2021 Please Support: SB 94, Establishing Indigenous People's Day, Senator Susan Webber (D-Browning), Senate State Administration, Hearing 2/10, Support. This bill would create an Indigenous People’s Day on the second Monday of October, currently known only as Columbus Day. SB 146, Establishing Indigenous People's Day, Senator Shane Morigeau (D-Missoula), Senate State Administration, Hearing 2/10, Support. SB 146 would remove Columbus Day from the list of legal holidays in Montana, and replace it with Indigenous People's Day. SB 147 - Establish commercial property assessed capital enhancements program, Senator Mary McNally (D-Billings), Senate Energy, Executive Action, Support. Montana businesses often face high utility bills due to old or inefficient buildings. The upfront cost of upgrades poses a major financial challenge, especially when small businesses' pocketbooks are stretched thin. SB 147 establishes a program to overcome this financing gap by leveraging private dollars for energy efficiency upgrades. The financing is paid back through a line item assessment on the property's annual or biannual property tax. This program is voluntary once enabled and counties opt-in to participate. This bill would boost economic development for main street Montana, and help create an environment where businesses are able to thrive, create good-paying jobs, and increase opportunities for all Montanans.
