Montana Legislature Kicks Off 2025 Session with Focus on Taxes, Medicaid, and Court Reform

Montana‘s 69th legislative session began Monday in Helena, with Republican lawmakers prioritizing tax reform, Medicaid expansion, and judicial oversight. The GOP, holding a majority in both chambers, aims to address rising property taxes, renew Medicaid expansion, and implement measures to curb judicial power.

Senate Majority Leader Tom McGillvray, R-Billings, emphasized the need for court reform, citing frustration over judicial rulings that have overturned Republican-backed legislation.
