(Montana) Three separate requests to hold a special session of the Montana Legislature at the end of June have all fallen short.
The Montana Secretary of State’s Office reported Monday that none of the proposals received the required 76 votes to make a majority of the 150 lawmakers.
The Secretary of State has to poll the Legislature by mail on whether they want to hold a special session, whenever at least ten lawmakers request it.
All three requests came from Republicans, and all the lawmakers who supported them were Republicans, the request that received the most votes called for a special session to consider state-level action to “regulate illegal alien entry into Montana,” as well as distribution of revenue from marijuana taxes.
