SB 173

David Howard (R) SD 29

Eliminate continuing emergency or disaster without legislative involvement

Comments

  1. Senators Sands and Bennett,

    Missoula County opposes SB 173: Eliminate continuing emergency or disaster without legislative involvement, up for hearing tomorrow morning in the Senate Judiciary Committee. Putting the authority in the legislative branch to declare artificial time limits for the duration of an emergency will hamper local and state responses to emergencies. Many of the most common types of disasters in Montana occur throughout a season, and the ability to declare a state of emergency that will run the length of the event allows the state and local governments to be prepared to respond as needed. In addition, these declarations allow local governments and the state to be able to access federal funding.

    Please oppose SB 173.
