SAMLNSS17 Legislative Update 4: 11-14-17 SAMLNSS17 Legislative Update 4: 11-14-17 Hi SAMLNSS17 Members! The special session started this morning with motions to expand the session and to run the expanded session concurrent with the Governor called session. Late morning, these resolutions passed and the rest of the day was a combination of hearing bills that were added to through the expanded call and floor sessions in the House and Senate to incrementally pass recommended changes to HB 2 and several bills to become part of HB 2. The Joint Senate Finance & Claims/House Appropriations Committee took action this morning reestablish a HB 2 that included changes created after the 2017 session adjourned but impacted state finances. The best example was the added consideration of SB 261 implemented triggers being added into the new HB 2. I believe it was 3 floor sessions in both the House and Senate that resulted in the basic HB 2 now being at the correct current levels so that the bills of the session to solve the revenue shortfall can be considered. The evening and night saw the beginning considerations of executive action on the bills to resolve the revenue shortfall, as well as those bills included because of the expanded call for the special session. The sausage making has been intense but there appears to be a plan to have all of the moving parts culminate in a plan to accomplish the goal of solving the revenue shortfall in the coming days. As I write this (9:00 PM), the House is convened taking action on 2 bills added by the expanded session. I expect that the Joint Committees considering bills will meet one more time after the floor session of the House and soon to be convened Senate floor session. So, I will leave it at this for tonight. Below is the current list of bills – about 10 more than this time yesterday – so you are aware of what lies ahead. SAM, through Pat and I, have been monitoring all activities and have rough notes on the actions of the day, while working with individual legislators to help them understand the education issues at hand – still mostly centered on SB 2, which is still awaiting executive action in the Joint Senate Finance & Claims/House Appropriations Committee.

We contend that the federal government does not have the power to mandate the citizens of Montana to purchase a federally approved health care insurance product and penalize them if they choose not to do so. Neither Congress's power to regulate interstate commerce under Article l, Section 8 nor the exercise of such power in conjunction with any other constitutionally enumerated power permit the federal government to impose that kind of mandate on the citizens of Montana. lt is our conviction that this legislation is in conflict with the 10th amendment to the United States Constitution which states that "powers not delegated to the United States by the Constitution, nor prohibited by it to the states, are reserved to the States respectively, or to the people." This new law does not allow the state of Montana the choice of being involved but instead appears to commandeer the state of Montana and its employees as agents of the federal government's regulatory scheme at Montana's own cost.

Though citizens don’t often sue over agency MEPA decisions (lawsuits under MEPA have been filed only 39 times out of over 39,000 state actions that have been reviewed under MEPA in 36 years), Lange still erupted with an- gry rhetoric at the close of a hearing on his bill. “I’m sick and tired of people that are paid to stand up here and go to court and obstruct facilities just because they don’t like it,” he said.

  • Final 2019 Legislative Report
    MONTANA LEAGUE OF CITIES AND TOWNS Tim Burton, Executive Director Kelly A. Lynch, Deputy Director/General Counsel 2019 Montana State Legislature Final Report The 2019 legislative session adjourned on Thursday, April 25, 2019. The League tracked and actively lobbied more than 150 bills that affected Montana municipalities. In last few weeks of the legislative session, there were multiple attempts to raid entitlement share payments and shift other costs to cities and towns that would have resulted in cuts to local general fund revenues. Together with our partners and the help of many local elected officials and municipal staff, we were successful in stopping these pieces of legislation. REVENUE AND FINANCE Tracking Level - Support Passed Bill# Title Sponsor Status HB 0052 Revise funding for various economic development programs Jim Keane Chapter Number Assigned Staff Summary: This is the administration's economic development funding bill. It reauthorizes several OTO and sunsetting EcoDevo programs at Commerce. As amended, it defunds the Board of Research and Commercialization and repeals the program entirely, and transfers those funds directly to Dept of Agriculture's marketing program, increases funding to Ag's Growth through Agriculture program, and increases Commerce's appropriations for the small business development center, the regional CRDCs, and the MSU manufacturing extension center. As amended, the sunset on the programs is 8 years. The League joined MEDA, Governor's Office, the Department of Commerce, and MACo in support. HB 0411 Revise laws related to AIS expenditures and funding Willis Curdy Chapter Number Assigned Staff Summary: As amended, this bill requires a $10 AIS prevention pass on nonmotorized boats and $30 on motorized boats operating in Montana for funding the state's aquatic invasive species (AIS) prevention program.
