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/
