The Montana Senate has passed a redraw of the state’s Public Service Commission districts that, if enacted, would replace a court-ordered map drawn last year. Senate Bill 109 would divide the commission’s five districts based on the reapportionment of Montana’s 100 state House seats that the state’s independent redistricting committee finalized earlier this year. Each PSC district would comprise 20 House districts and heavily favor Republican candidates for the commission, which regulates monopoly utilities in the state.
