Join us for an online community conversation about how HB 599 has streamlined industrial permitting by reducing environmental reviews and limiting public hearings. Anne Hedges with the Montana Environmental Information Center (MEIC) will discuss how these legislative shifts make it harder for communities to protect sites like Section 22.
We will also be joined by Gayla Nicholson of Protect the Clearwater, who will share insights from her community’s recent fight to protect state lands along the Clearwater River.
As the Section 22 lease may soon appear on the Land Board agenda, understanding these new rules and hearing from those on the front lines is essential to our strategy.
