Meeting Notes and Handouts

During the August 2002 special session, SB19 created a committee to study the structure of the Montana State Fund. The committee held three meetings in the fall of 2002, the results of which are contained in their Final Report. Reflecting the general consensus reached by the committee, SB153 was introduced during the 2003 regular session. The bill missed the deadline for transmittal, and therefore was not acted upon. The following background information from that study is being provided as requested by the SB304 committee.
