Prairie County Senator Proposes Strict Anti Nepotism Bill
Prairie county Senator Haley last week introduced a bill aimed at ending nepotism in Montana public offices. It requires all state, county, and city employees to be U.S. citizens or to declare intent and prove within six months, with exemptions for certain foreign marriages and temporary experts. The measure bars officials from appointing relatives within the second degree by blood or marriage when public funds pay wages, and disallows appointing or voting for spouses of employees. Violations carry a fine of 10 to 500 dollars and removal from office.
