HELENA â The five-member panel that will draw Montanaâs new legislative districts, to reflect population changes in the 2020 Census, has a new chair: Former University of Montana law professor and Confederated Salish and Kootenai tribal attorney Maylinn Smith.
The Montana Supreme Court appointed Smith on Wednesday, to replace Districting and Apportionment Commission Chair Sheila Stearns, who resigned for personal health reasons.
The commission also would draw the boundaries for a new congressional district in Montana â although itâs not yet known if Montana will get the additional district in 2022 or remain as a single, at-large statewide district.
