MVMA represents members throughout Legislative Session
The 68th Legislative Session adjourned the evening of Tuesday, May 2, on the 87th day of a potential 90-day session as allowed by the Montana Constitution. It was also seven days later than the 2021 Legislative Session. Overall, the 2023 Montana Legislature officially introduced 1,698 bills, a 23% increase from the 2021 session when they introduced 1,313 bills. MVMA experienced a successful legislative session. Thank you to all members who participated at many levels in both helping us defeat bad legislation and supporting positive bills for Montana's veterinarians. You rallied when needed and your voice was heard. A special thanks to the MVMA board and MVMA Legislative Committee, which met and communicated before and during the session to establish positions on bills and outline legislative strategies. MVMA is gearing up to represent Montana's veterinary community at the 2025 Legislative Session scheduled to begin on January 6, 2025. Stay tuned for regular updates as the session draws near.
