Legislative proposals seek changes to Montana governance
A House bill would move Montana to four year legislative sessions and remove the Mon tana university chancellor role. A separate measure creates a state highway commissioner with broad powers, funding, and reporting duties, replacing the current highway commission. A third bill targets shoddy wool goods with labeling and licensing requirements for fabric makers, aiming to curb deceptive textile products in Montana.
