Montana lawmakers postponed floor sessions Apr. 16, 2021 to allow time for contact tracing after a lobbyist tested positive for COVID-19 the day prior.
The Montana Legislature will again not hold floor sessions Monday, which will not count as an official legislative day, after a lobbyist tested positive for COVID-19 last Thursday.
Senate GOP spokesperson Kyle Schmauch said late Friday eighteen people, including nine legislators, seven staff and two others, had received negative results through the Legislature’s testing program, and that contact tracing is ongoing.
Committees Monday may meet virtually and accept remote comment only.
Schmuach says legislators will participate virtually unless they have “internet issues, tech problems, or other extenuating circumstances.”
