The Montana Legislature's House State Administration Committee is gearing up for a busy week ahead, with plans to wrap up executive actions on pending bills. During a recent meeting, committee members discussed the urgency of submitting amendments for bills scheduled for discussion next week, emphasizing that any late submissions would be treated as floor amendments.

Chairperson highlighted the tight schedule, noting that the committee will not meet the following Monday and has a packed agenda for the rest of the week. "We will be doing what I'm hoping to do is wrap up all executive action next week," she stated, while also acknowledging the possibility of additional bills being introduced, which could extend their meetings into the following week.

One of the key pieces of legislation discussed was Senate Bill 303, presented by Senator Wendy Boyd. This bill, which has been in development for over a decade, aims to enhance accountability within the state. Boyd noted that the current version is nearly identical to one that passed unanimously in the previous session, indicating strong bipartisan support for the measure.

As the committee prepares for the upcoming discussions, the focus remains on ensuring all necessary amendments are submitted promptly to facilitate a smooth legislative process. The outcomes of these discussions could have significant implications for state governance and accountability measures moving forward.
