Montana veto blocks reform at hospital and child services
Gov. Greg Gianforte vetoed House Bill 29 and Senate Bill 4 aimed at reforming the Montana State Hospital and the child protective services division. The bills would have barred admissions of patients with dementia or brain injury, expanded community bed options, raised Medicaid reimbursement for such care, and created a commission to transfer appropriate patients to assisted living by June 30, 2025. The Senate adjournment prevented immediate action on his amendments.

Butte Eyes Cenate Battery Factory Location
Norwegian Cenate hopes to build a 40 acre Montana plant in the Montana Connections Business Park west of Butte with up to 250 employees.
