HELENA, Mont. — Montana’s 68th Legislative Session is officially underway.

Montana Secretary of State Christi Jacobsen addressed the Montana House of Representatives on Monday, helping usher in the 68th Session. Legislators from across Montana were sworn into office as representatives and senators attended the first House and Senate Floor Sessions of the year.

“Each member of this body brings a unique value in creating the future of this state. My hope is that your knowledge in your area of strength is heard and understood by your fellow colleagues,” said Secretary Jacobsen, “and that you trust and listen to your fellow colleagues in their area of expertise to collectively pass laws that support the Constitution and improve the way of life for Montanans.”

“What an honor you have been entrusted with to deliver on strengthening our state, creating more opportunities, solving challenges, inspiring our youth, and uniting our adults,” she continued.
