Montana Senate introduces Bills 111–113, approves committee of the whole and recesses until 6 p.m.
The Montana Senate introduced three bills and approved a motion to resolve into the committee of the whole, then recessed to reconvene at 6 p.m., the chamber recorded.

"Mr. President, Senate Bills 111 through 113 are introduced in red. That is all," the Secretary announced on the floor, but the transcript contains no description of the bills' subjects or sponsors.

The announcements and scheduling votes dominated the hour. Senator Glynn announced that the Committee on Committees would meet at 3:00 p.m. in Room 317. Senator McGilvary moved to resolve the body into the committee of the whole to conduct business on second reading, saying, "I move that the committee resolve itself and to, committee of the whole to to conduct business on second reading." The motion passed by voice vote; the transcript records only that "the ayes have," with no roll-call tally provided.

Other committee scheduling and related floor announcements included:
- Senator Temple: Transportation will meet after floor tomorrow at the south door for a field trip.
- Senator Glynn: Committee on Committees, 3:00 p.m., Room 317 (announcement will be posted).
- Senator Gillespie: Senate Agriculture, Livestock and Irrigation will meet at 3:00 p.m.
- Senator Manzella: Section A will meet tomorrow at 9:00 a.m. in Room 350.
- Senator Manzella (later): State Administration and Veterans' Affairs will meet tomorrow at 3:00 p.m. in Room 335.
- Senator Nolan: Business and Labor will meet tomorrow morning at 8:30 a.m.
- Senator Hertz: Senate Tax will not meet again until Tuesday at 9:00 a.m.
- Senator Fuller: Senate Education will not meet until Tuesday at 3:00 p.m.
- Senator Usher: Senate Judiciary will meet Tuesday; start time to be confirmed depending on the workload.

The Senate calendar also included a nonlegislative reception: "The Montana Library Association would like to invite you to join them and the librarians from across the state at the library reception night tonight in the rotunda between the hours of 4 and 7," Senator Kirk Carpenter said on the floor.

After the motion on committee of the whole was approved, Majority Leader McGilvary asked that the Senate rise in report and meet again tonight at 6:00 p.m.; that motion likewise passed by voice vote. The presiding officer then said, "It is so ordered. We will reconvene at 6 PM this evening," and the chamber recessed.

No substantive debate on the contents of Senate Bills 111–113, nor any committee referrals, sponsors, fiscal notes, or subject matter for those bills, appear in the provided transcript excerpt.
