Rep. Courtenay Sprunger, R-Kalispell, said Tuesday that she voted in support of holding a special session of the Montana Legislature to address immigration, but her response apparently did not arrive in Helena by the June 7 deadline.
The request for a special session on immigration was one of three failed pushes this spring to reconvene the Legislature. According to the Montana Secretary of State’s Office, just 59 legislators backed the immigration request.
For the session to occur, a majority of legislators — greater than or equal to 76 — needed to approve the request under Montana code.
