SB68

Eliminate the ability of certain committees to meet during a legislative session

Failed·5/23/25
Introduced Text

Montana SB68 would prevent study committees staffed by the Legislative Services Division from meeting during a legislative session.

Montana SB68 amends the Montana Code Annotated to restrict study committees, councils, commissions, task forces, work groups, or other entities staffed by the Legislative Services Division from performing their functions during a legislative session. Exceptions are made for the Legislative Council, Legislative Finance Committee, Legislative Audit Committee, and entities created as authorized by legislative rules. The intent is to ensure these study committees only operate when the legislature is not in session.
