(Montana) The State Legislature filed in the Montana Supreme Court on Monday seeking to overturn a district court decision temporarily blocking two of the Legislature’s bipartisan pro-housing bills.
The brief argues that Judge Michael Salvagni in Gallatin County violated the constitutional separation of powers that leaves policymaking to the legislative branch of government when he issued a preliminary injunction against two senate bills.
The bills in question, 323 and 528, were intended to legalize duplexes and accessory dwelling units, according to the briefing.
