Rep. Knudsen's Montana Legislature update

It is week five for the Montana Legislature, and I apologize I have not written home earlier in the session. We have passed several good bills through the House, including providing inflationary funding for our public schools, electronic communication privacy, and a few bills that expand our 2nd amendment rights.

I had the opportunity to be Chair of the Day yesterday, 2-6-17, which entails running the floor debate for bills up for 2nd reading. It was a great learning experience, and with 13 bills on the docket, there was a lot of learning to do.

I am carrying my first bill on the house floor today, 2-7-17, which provides a definition for permanent electric fence. It passed out of the agriculture committee with flying colors, and I am hoping for the same out of the House today.

If anyone has any questions, comments, or concerns, please do not hesitate to contact me.

Representative Casey Knudsen
