Key lawmakers backing MT special session to tackle infrastructure bills

Some key lawmakers are saying they support calling the Montana Legislature back into special session, as soon as next month, to pass a pair of infrastructure-funding bills.

The possible package of bills would finance three major new state buildings, in Bozeman, Butte and Helena, maintenance projects at rural schools across the state and several large rural water projects in eastern Montana.

Bills to finance the projects failed on the final day of the 2017 Legislature’s regular session, on April 28.
