FF02,

I guess the good news is that there isn’t a companion bill in the state senate but Chair Sen. Pearson on the Natural Resource committee does have a workshop hearing Feb. 2 at 1:30PM regarding government to government relations. Like HB 1097 there will be tribal members on a panel testifying and got a phone call that there will be 2 state government agencies presenting testimony this time around --- testimony from the public will not be taken.

The attorney general office is pursuing larger fines for open meeting act violations through HB 2353 and companion SB 6171.

With a small sampling of email responses, Rep. Blake among others is opposed to HB 1097 for various reasons.
