Revise membership of board of housing to require tribal and veteran representation

SB 219 would have amended Montana's Board of Housing composition to require at least one member to be an enrolled tribal member of a federally recognized Montana tribe and one member to be a veteran of the U.S. armed forces. This change would directly affect the seven-member Board of Housing, which oversees housing programs and allocations. The bill proposed adding these specific representation requirements to Section 2-15-1814 of Montana Code Annotated, replacing the current language about "at least one" tribal member and veteran with explicit mandatory positions. The bill died in committee on May 23, 2025, and did not become law.
