Votes at a glance: key outcomes from the House Business and Labor committee

The House Business and Labor Committee took executive action on multiple bills at the close of its April 11 meeting. Below are the committee-level outcomes recorded in the hearing and executive session.

House Bill 8 98 (LLC operating agreements) Representative Tillman’s bill clarifies that, absent a choice-of-law provision, Montana law will apply to operating agreements for Montana limited liability companies. Committee vote: 12 yes, 8 no; outcome: passed out of committee to the House floor.

House Bill 8 99 (State shooting facilities and improvements) Representative Seekins Crowe’s bill — amended to broaden the charge from a single state complex to a task force that studies state-supported facilities and improvements, and to place administration with Fish, Wildlife & Parks — passed committee. The amendment was adopted and the amended bill was recommended to the House floor (recorded votes on amendment and final motion; committee tally recorded as favorable, with proxies noted in the transcript).

House Bill 9 47 (CGM coverage) Representative Fiona Nave’s bill on coverage for continuous glucose monitors was advanced out of committee by voice and proxy vote; the committee record notes the bill passed and will move to the House floor (detailed roll-call tally was not printed in the hearing record).

House Bill 9 50 (Montana trade office in Israel) Representative Barker’s bill was advanced to the House floor after committee debate and extensive public opposition; recorded roll-call in executive session resulted in a committee 'do pass' recommendation (committee reported 12 yes and 4 no, with 8 recorded absences/proxies in the transcript).

Notes on interpretation: Where the committee recorded explicit roll-call tallies, those are reproduced above. For items recorded as 'passed' by voice vote with proxies, the transcript reports the bill as advancing but does not provide a single roll-call tally in the committee record.
