HELENA — During Jan. 31 executive action, the House Business and Labor Committee approved two items that moved to the House floor.
House Bill 136 (representative Fitzpatrick) — Representative Marshall moved HB 136 to pass and the committee adopted the motion; committee staff recorded proxy aye votes for several members and the chair announced the bill will go to the full House.
House Bill 137 (representative Fitzpatrick) — The committee adopted a staff amendment that removed an applicability date. Representative Marshall moved HB 137 as amended to pass; the committee adopted the motion by voice vote with proxy aye votes announced and sent the bill to the House floor.
The committee did not record a roll‑call numeric tally in the transcript; proxies for several members were announced on the record. No fiscal or policy amendments beyond the technical applicability deletion were made public in the hearing record.
