Bear Paw Development Corporation is a private non-profit organization created for the purpose of administering programs to help improve regional economic conditions in Hill, Blaine, Liberty, Chouteau and Phillips Counties and the Fort Belknap and Rocky Boy's Indian Reservations.

In response to a recent movement to boycott, divest and place sanctions, or BDS, on trades with Israel, Montana lawmakers are considering a bill that would prohibit companies that are involved in the movement from doing business in the state.

House Bill 501 would require the Board of Investments to receive certification that companies are not involved in boycotts of Israel before doing business.

Mona Jamison, lobbyist for several organizations, supported the bill and testified on her own behalf during the hearing Tuesday.
