HELENA â A House committee Wednesday voted overwhelmingly to kill the controversial bill meant to encourage NorthWestern Energy to acquire a larger share of the Colstrip 4 power plant in southeast Montana.
The House Energy, Technology and Federal Relations Committee voted 11-1 to âtableâ or kill Senate Bill 379, likely ending the emotionally charged journey of a bill promoted as a way to extend the life of the aging Colstrip plant.

HELENA Montana Gov. Greg Gianforte signed measures Monday to end same-day voter registration and require additional identifying information from those who use a student ID to register to vote.
“Montana has a long history of secure, transparent elections, setting a standard for the nation,” Gianforte said in a statement. “These new laws will help ensure the continued integrity of Montana’s elections for years to come.
Secretary of State Christi Jacobsen had requested the changes.
Supporters of the bill to end same-day voter registration said it will allow clerks to focus on voting on Election Day and mean shorter lines at the polls.
