Federal Tax Cuts Could Make Montana Special Session ‘Strong Possibility’

There’s a "strong possibility" that Montana will have to call a special legislative session if the state is correct in how it’s interpreting recently-passed changes to federal tax laws. That’s according to state Department of Revenue Director Mike Kadas.

Kadas says if there’s not a special session, Montana faces either a new $46 million hole in its budget this year, or lawsuits from taxpayers. He says the state wants to be absolutely sure on the details of the new tax bill before moving forward.
