The Montana Legislature takes a break in the middle of the legislative session called Transmittal Break.  At this point in the session, bills must be transmitted to the other house for them to get passed by the end of the session.  This break is very necessary for legislators because they have been working 12 hour days and are exhausted.

For the only time during the session, Rep Powers had time to drive home from Helena and enjoy skiing in the beautiful North Fork of the Flathead where she lives.
