PLEASE SHARE WIDELY
HORRIBLE - SCHEDULED FOR THIRD READING - HB231: Revise property tax rates for certain property - Jones - this terrible bill passed the Senate thanks to the Nasty-9 (67% tax increase on second homes/cabins, 40% tax increase on businesses) - WILL PROBABLY REQUIRE A VETO.
HORRIBLE - PASSED THIRD READING IN HOUSE - HB 924: Generally revise state finance laws - Jones - REQUIRES A VETO IF THE GOVERNOR IS WHO HE SAYS HE IS; A CONSERVATIVE.
HORRIBLE - SCHEDULED FOR THIRD READING IN HOUSE TO APPROVE SENATE AMENDMENTS - HB 2: General Appropriations Act- Jones - WILL REQUIRE A VETO WHEN IT MOST LIKELY PASSES.
HORRIBLE - PASSED THIRD READING - SB 535: Revise laws related to experimental treatments - Bogner (Would turn Montana into the world’s largest unregulated human medical experimentation lab and be the largest expansion of the medical industrial complex since Obamacare) (GOVERNOR MUST VETO)
BAD - RETURNED FROM ENROLLING - HB 599: Revise student data collection laws - Nikolakakos, M - (Would allow schools to conduct “mental health screenings” on students. This is an anti-parents rights bill) (GOVERNOR MUST VETO)
