Missoula County opposes HB 429: Revise governor's power to suspend election laws during emergency, up for hearing tomorrow morning in the House State Administration Committee.

If these powers were moved to the Legislature, lawmakers would have not be able to be as responsive and timely as the governor’s office under similar circumstances in the future.
