HELENA â A bill to compensate those imprisoned for crimes they didnât commit is stalled in a Montana legislative committee, as supporters try to address concerns about its potential cost.
House Bill 92, referred to the House Appropriations Committee a month ago, faced some tough questions last week from Republicans on the panel about its cost.
After an amendment to attach a $700,000 appropriation to the bill failed on an 11-12 vote last week, with Republicans opposing it, Democratic Rep. Emma Kerr-Carpenter of Billings asked the panel to table the bill for now.
