# HB 2, 2025 session: positions declared by Montana lobbying principals

In the 2025 session of the Montana Legislature, 92 principals declared a position on HB 2 (House Bill 2, also written HB2): 50 support, 17 monitor, 1 oppose, 24 other or unrecorded. Data through 2026-10-02.

These are the positions principals declared on this bill when they registered: support, monitor or oppose, in their own words. They do not say how any vote went or whether the bill passed. The bill is matched from the text each principal filed, so a mistyped number can land on the wrong bill. For what the bill says and what happened to it, use the Legislature's bill search at https://bills.legmt.gov and filter by session and bill number.

For the text and history of HB 2, use https://bills.legmt.gov and filter by the 2025 session and bill number 2.

## What this page does not say about HB 2, data through 2026-10-02

It does not say how any legislator voted on HB 2 or whether it passed. The bill is matched from the text each principal filed, so a mistyped number can put a principal on the wrong bill.
