Article About House Bill 924

Below, you can see how the Nasty-9 voted in favor of HB924. Whenever the vote was 27-23 to the bad, the Nasty-9 voted with the Democrats to grow the government.

Despite being such a bad property tax bill, it was reconsidered on April 22 and passed Second Reading 26-24. The Nasty-9 all supported it, as expected. The green votes below are bad votes.

SENATE - HB 488: Allowing a disabled voter to electronically return a ballot - Darling - (BAD BILL THAT EXPOSES ELECTION SYSTEMS TO VOTER FRAUD) SECOND READING FAILED - INDEFINITELY POSTPONED

GOOD - HB 469: Revise the exemption for out-of-state driver's licenses - Sharp (Makes it illegal to drive in Montana with an out of state “privilege” card where they are already not required to prove they are here lawfully: an illegal in Utah could get a privilege card and drive in Montana under the current laws) (Tabled in Committee)
