Policy Achievements: Advancing Montana’s Priorities Halt Fentanyl Act My “Halt All Lethal Trafficking (HALT) of Fentanyl Act” passed the Senate recently, permanently classifying fentanyl and related substances as Schedule I drugs. This law will help curb the devastating impact of fentanyl in Montana communities, protecting our families from this deadly epidemic. Supporting American Hydropower I led a bill to support American hydropower, allowing the Federal Energy Regulatory Commission to approve six-year extensions for projects licensed before 2020. This ensures reliable, clean energy for Montanans while creating good-paying jobs across our state. Protecting Jobs at Bull Mountains Mine I urged the Senate Energy and Natural Resources Committee to pass my S.362 bill, which keeps the Bull Mountains Mine open in Musselshell County. This legislation protects jobs and strengthens energy security—a lifeline for that community and our state’s economy. |
