The Capitol dome in Helena, MT.
Lawmakers are about convene for session in Montana and neighboring states. The influx of legislators, lobbyists and public commenters could add pressure to county health departments already struggling to keep up with local coronavirus infections. YPR News’ Kevin Trevellyan has been tracking how states are balancing lawmaking with public health. He shares his reporting with Nicky Ouellet.
Nicky Ouellet: Kevin, the Legislature’s start date is right around the corner on Jan. 4. What kind of plans did lawmakers approve for the upcoming session?
Kevin Trevellyan: This depends on approval by the full Legislature next month, but it looks like the Legislature will hold a hybrid session allowing in person and remote participation.

FARGO Congratulations to the two newest members of the North Dakota COVID-19 Hall of Shame! They are Rep. Jeff Hoverson, R-Minot, and Rep. Sebastian Ertelt, R-Lisbon.
Hoverson and Ertelt brazenly defied rules of the North Dakota Legislature by refusing to wear masks in the House chamber during the Legislature’s organizational session. This came even after they received a warning about the rule from Speaker of the House Kim Koppelman. Ertelt and Hoverson were rightfully told to leave the chamber, which they did.
