Most Montana students will never have a chance to come to Helena
to see the Legislature in action. Witnessing a live floor debate
or committee discussion provides a learning opportunity that can
last a lifetime.
The Montana Office of Public Instruction, Helena Civic Television
and Legislative Services are pleased to announce that all students
across Montana will now have the opportunity to view live coverage
of the Legislature. Using video streaming technology, schools can
tune in using a personal computer.
We're excited that we are able to connect Montana schools with
the Legislature in a very economical and efficient way. It will
help our students to better understand how a bill becomes a law.
We will be streaming four channels for this session. Each channel
will play the House, Senate floors and two independent selections
from the seven Legislative Committee hearing rooms. The 61th session
of the Montana State Legislature can be viewed by visiting opi.mt.gov/streamer/Legislature/
