Senator Hunter - Constituent Connection
Transmittal
Senator Hunter
After nine intense weeks in Helena, legislators finally got a brief break last week during what is known as “transmittal.” This is the deadline at the halfway point where bills must pass out of their “chamber of origin,” either the House or the Senate. Bills that didn’t pass on either the House or Senate Floor by March 7th are considered dead (with the exception of bills that affect the state’s revenue).
That meant we worked back-to-back 12+ hour days in order to vote on as many bills as possible....
