Text of measure: https://leg.mt.gov/bills/2021/billhtml/SJ0002.htm
Notes: Had a hearing on Jan. 22, 2021. The vote came later, on Jan. 26 -- and GOOD NEWS!! The committee voted 7-4 to "table" the resolution: in Montana, "In addition to setting aside bills that are later taken up, this motion ['tabling' the bill] is traditionally the motion used [by a committee] to dispose of a bill without requiring consideration by the Committee of the Whole." So, this seems likely to have killed the resolution. However, we'll need to stay vigilant!!
