Helena Feb 20 There are 10 working days left in the Montana Legislature and the session will close March 6. Bills passed include session expense appropriations and a range of measures. The house and senate show limited cross passage with a steering committee report upheld but party lines unsettled. The gambling bill remains stalled after repeated calls and votes against it. The budget for state institutions is outlined with specific maintenance figures. The text book bill for free supplies is passed by the house but altered by the senate, which removes free supplies and reshapes the commission. The irrigation bill to bond arid lands faces criticism and will be reconsidered next week.
