MontanaLegislators would study options for Montana’s vacant governor’s residence
A proposed study would compare needed repairs, rebuilding, other uses, and a possible sale of Montana’s vacant governor’s residence, then report recommendations to lawmakers.
What it does
A proposed resolution would ask a legislative committee to review the vacant, state-owned governor’s residence and weigh repairs, rebuilding, other uses, or a sale.
Argument forComparing essential repairs, optional upgrades, and other uses could help lawmakers weigh choices for the state-owned residence.
Argument againstThe study could take committee time without requiring lawmakers to choose or fund any one option for the residence.
More detail
The resolution would ask the Legislative Council to assign a legislative committee to study the state-owned executive residence. The study would review the state-owned executive residence in Helena, including its condition and possible use if the governor does not live there. The measure died in the legislative process, so the study was proposed and is not established as having taken place. The study was to finish before September 15, 2026, and its results were to go to the 70th Legislature as introduced legislation.
