Governor Steve Bullock Statement on Jobs in Montana Act – urges legislature to send infrastructure bill to his desk for signature

After the hearing on House Bill 14, the Jobs in Montana Act, concluded this morning, Governor Steve Bullock issued a strong statement to the legislature to pass an infrastructure bill to build Montana communities and put Montanans to work.

"Building Montana’s infrastructure is about the future of Montana, and our water and wastewater systems, public schools, roads, bridges, and impacted communities cannot be ignored for another two weeks, two months, or two years," said Governor Bullock. "Montanans cannot be ignored either, and holding up this bill means holding up thousands of good-paying jobs. I’m urging the legislature to pass this bill out of committee and get it to my desk for signature as soon as possible."

Earlier this month, Governor Bullock called on legislators to work across the aisle to pass an infrastructure bill, putting Montana jobs ahead of Montana politics.
