Chair Perry called the House Energy committee to order, took roll, and announced testimony sign-in rules and scheduled bills for the day: House Bill 517, House Bill 518, and House Bill 538; phones must be silenced and witnesses should sign in with name and affiliation.
The Montana House Energy Committee held hearings on three bills: HB 517 (clarifies eligibility to apply for Class D motor carrier certificates for garbage hauling), HB 518 (requires public hearings or explanations when the PSC denies certain Class D applications), and HB 538 (technical cleanups to the statewide 9-1-1 statute and advisory council); the committee also took executive action tabling a joint resolution and advancing SB 163 and HB 538 to the next stage.
