The only bill to fail was Senate Joint Resolution 2, introduced by Sena- tor Frank Smith, which would have requested a study, during the interim, on how to break the cycle of youth runaways. 3 House Bill (HB) 21 “Hanna’s Act” - SUPPORT Introduced by Representative Rae Peppers (D) of Lame Deer, “Hanna’s Act” is named in remembrance of Hanna Harris, a Lame Deer woman who was murdered in 2013 on the Northern Cheyenne Nation. HB 21 requires the Montana Department of Justice to hire a missing persons specialist to work with communities and families in response to cases of missing people. The missing persons specialist is responsible for working closely with local, state, federal, and tribal law enforcement authorities on missing persons cases. They will manage and oversee entries into the National Crimes Information Center and other missing person databases. They will also provide public outreach and education on missing person issues and facilitate law enforcement related to missing persons cases. Hanna’s Act was signed into law. Senate Bill (SB) 147 - SUPPORT SB 147, sponsored by Senator Margaret “Margie” MacDonald (D) of Billings, targets human trafficking at massage parlors by making any direct sexual con- tact a crime and would charge pimps at the same level as customers. Pimping and sex trafficking are now on the list of violent crimes. The bill was signed into law. Senate Bill (SB) 148 - SUPPORT SB 148, introduced by Senator Bryce Bennett (D) of Missoula, allows people to drop off their absentee mail ballots at a polling location on Election Day. Before this SB 148 passed the Montana Legislature and became law, people would have to travel to a county seat to deliver an absentee mail ballot on Election Day. This new law will allow more people to vote and have their voices heard. The bill was signed into law. House Bill (HB) 219 - SUPPORT HB 219, introduced by Representative Shane Morigeau (D) of Missoula, would have replaced Columbus Day with Indigenous Peoples’ Day in Montana. This bill was the latest attempt to establish Indigenous Peoples’ Day and passed the Montana House of Representatives. But, failed to pass in the Senate. House Bill (HB) 332 - OPPOSED Sponsored by Representative Josh Kassimer (R) of Fort Benton, this bill would require authorization from the county commissioners before bison are re- leased in a county and require that bison meet certain conditions. HB 332 passed the Montana Legislature, but was vetoed by Governor Bullock. House Bill (HB) 599 - SUPPORT Introduced by Representative Jonathan Windy Boy (D) of Box Elder, HB 599 allows for the practice of dental health, behavioral health, and community health services under the Community Health Aid program. HB 599 passed the Montana Legislature and is now law. House Bill (HB) 658 - SUPPORT Sponsored by Representative Edward Buttrey (R) of Great Falls, HB 658 renews a version of the Montana Medicaid Expansion program. HB 658 originally included strict work requirements and unrealistic personal reporting requirements. This bill was heavily amended to expand exemptions for the work re- quirements, remove the reporting burden from the individual to the Department of Health and Human Services, as well as other amendments. While in the Senate, an amendment passed to also include a program expiration date of 2025. It is estimated that the final version of the bill will protect 90,000 of the 96,000 people who are currently enrolled in Medicaid through expansion. This bill passed the Montana Legislature and was signed into law. Pro- tecting access to healthcare for over 15,000 Native Americans. House Bill (HB) 696 - SUPPORT Introduced by Representative Jessica Karjala (D) from Billings, this bill appropriated $500,000 from the state special revenue account for suicide preven- tion efforts. HB 696 passed the Montana Legislature and was signed into law. 4 + or - votes are in relation to either support or opposition to the bill.

  • The Montana Legislature Has Just Completed Week 4 of the 2017 Session
    The Montana Legislature has just completed week 4 of the 2017 session. The pace of the session is starting to pick up, though, overall, the number of bills considered by the Legislature so far this session seems to be far fewer than are normally considered by any given legislature during the first month. MWGA BILLS: 1. SB 73 – as you will recall, MWGA is sponsoring legislation to authorize the continued use of general fund funding for use by the Livestock Loss Board. The Livestock Loss Board is the agency that provides compensation to livestock owners in circumstances where wolves and grizzly bears have depredated on livestock. State funding for that program is set to expire at the end of June of 2017. Our bill will authorize continued funding through June of 2023. The Senate Agriculture Committee held its hearing on this bill earlier this month. The committee is set to vote on this bill on Tuesday January 31, 2017. In a positive development for our legislation, the Governor’s budget office has scored this bill as having a zero net impact on the State’s general fund. With this budget score, we are in a good position to get this bill passed and signed by the Governor. 2. Draft Grizzly Bear Delisting resolution – MWGA has requested that a draft legislative resolution be introduced and considered which would express the will and desire of the Legislature that Montana’s congressional delegation congressional delist the grizzly bear from the Endangered Species List, thereby transferring management of the species back to the State of Montana.

  • 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.
