April 2021 Legislative Update from Montana Audubon  

March at the 67th Legislature

As we move through March and into the last six weeks of the 67th session, the Montana Legislature continues to pass bills that negatively affect our wildlife and their habitats. While we are working hard to push back, the diverse issues we have faced have kept us bouncing between committees on everything from Fish and Game, to Agriculture, to Highways and Transportation, Taxation, and more. At this point we have testified on 46 bills, opposing 30 and supporting 16, but our biggest challenges have just begun.

There is just so much happening, and so much deregulation its hard to keep track! But be sure that we are doing our best at Montana Audubon. You can see the whole list of bills we are working onat the MT Audubon website (www.MTAudubon.org).
