Contact your State Senator about SB152!
From Eric Feaver:
It has been a GREAT day at the Montana State Legislature:
HB 27 (Funk) – to inflate state special education funding – passed the House. 79 – 20. Vote here - http://bit.ly/2WQSXMH
SB 152 (Barrett) – to make the 6-mill MUS levy – passed Senate Tax. 8 – 4. (Voting NO: Blasdel, Gillespie, Temple, Webb)
HB 175 (Dooling) – to fund the state and university pay plan – passed Senate Finance and Claims. 17 – 1 (Voting NO: Keenan)
HB 159 (Grubbs) – to fund k-12 public schools for the coming biennium – passed Senate Finance and Claims. 17 – 1 (Voting NO: Keenan)
My prediction is HB 175 and 159 will pass this session and could be on the governor’s desk late next week or shortly thereafter.
HB 27 has been rereferred to House Appropriations where it may sit awhile. Hard to say.
SB 152 will soon be on the floor of the Senate. We expect a close vote. Letting Senators know you support 152 could make all the difference.
HB 323 (Tschida) – to wrongly interfere with how public employee unions recruit members – could be amended soon in House Business and Labor. Maybe tomorrow. If the amendment is what we proposed at hearing, then we are good. If not . . . we shall see. One way or another please pay close attention.
