Sen. Greg Hertz (R) - SD6 chaired the Select Committee On Judicial Transparency and Accountability session Monday April 19, 2021.

A growing dispute between Montana’s legislative and judicial branches came to a head Monday during a pair of special committee hearings. Republican lawmakers have alleged bias by state Supreme Court justices over pending legislation — and in an unexpected move, justices addressed those concerns directly.

Montana State News Bureau’s Seaborn Larson talks with MTPR’s Shaylee Ragar about what’s transpired and what comes next.

Shaylee covers state government and politics for Montana Public Radio.
