Senators approved committee assignments for Environmental Quality Council and Legislative Consumer Committee
Summary
During a 2025 Legislature MT session, senators approved motions placing colleagues on the Environmental Quality Council and the Legislative Consumer Committee; both motions passed unanimously, with one aye recorded by proxy.
Senators approved motions to place members on two standing legislative committees during a 2025 Legislature MT session, including the Environmental Quality Council and the Legislative Consumer Committee.
The motions matter because committee assignments determine which lawmakers will consider bills and oversight related to environmental policy and consumer issues during the legislative session.
Senator Gull moved to place Senator Curtis, Senator Flowers and Senator Teas on the Environmental Quality Council. After the motion, senators voted aloud; multiple "Aye" responses followed and the motion carried. Senator Gull said, "Thank you, Mr. Chair I move to put senator curtis senator flowers and senator teas act on the environmental quality council heard" in the recorded transcript.
Separately, Senator Go moved to place Senator Olson and additional senators on the Legislative Consumer Committee. Senator Zolanakoff spoke in favor of the assignments, saying members with prior service and knowledge had been considered: "I think these are fair," she said. The record shows the second motion also passed with unanimous consent.
The session recorded a proxy vote: Senator Lehi was noted as voting "aye" by proxy. The transcript does not list full roll-call tallies or the names of all senators who verbally voted during the recorded exchanges.
No amendments, recusals, defeats or postponements were recorded for these items in the provided transcript excerpt. The motions were procedural committee-assignment votes and did not by themselves enact statute or policy.
Future committee work will proceed with the newly recorded memberships; the transcript does not specify when those committees will next meet or which bills the newly assigned members will consider.
