GOVERNMENT NEWS
- ➤ Missoula officials said the Johnson Street Emergency Shelter will begin winding down its services in April due to a funding shortfall and finish by Aug. 31 while they launch a housing sprint to help people find housing—offering aid with deposits, rental applications, and partnering with local support programs. The city will not provide direct funds for the effort and plans to raise $400,000 through private donations. KPAX
- ➤ The House Judiciary Committee heard Senate Bill 297 on Tuesday, which would close loopholes in the Montana Consumer Data Privacy Act and strengthen online protections for children over 13. Sen. Daniel Zolnikov said the bill, modeled after a Connecticut law, passed the Senate unanimously but critics argued it would burden non-bank financial institutions + some questioned its necessity.

- ➤ A personhood bill that would extend constitutional rights to embryos passed the House Tuesday with a 57–43 vote and now faces review in the Senate.
