Eight Montana media organizations, including Montana Free Press, have petitioned to join a lawsuit concerning back-channel communications between Montana legislators, lobbyists and stakeholders during the drafting of bills.
The lawsuit stems from legislative staff redacting details about who state lawmakers are consulting with while drafting bills. That information began being blacked out in September following a court ruling shielding the communications of Republican Sen. Keith Regier, R-Kalispell, from voters who sued over the Legislature’s redrawing of political districts in 2023.
