The bill is a joint resolution from the Montana Senate and House of Representatives that emphasizes the need for increased electric transmission capacity within Montana and across state borders. It highlights the stagnation of electrical transmission infrastructure development over the past decades and the importance of updating this infrastructure to meet modern energy demands. The resolution points out that the lack of access to lower-cost power has led to the loss of significant industrial employers in the state and that Montana's neighboring states have more advanced transmission systems. It argues that enhancing transmission capacity will not only support economic growth but also improve the reliability of the electric grid and facilitate energy imports and exports.

Furthermore, the resolution underscores the economic benefits of investing in electric transmission projects, noting that every dollar spent could yield substantial cost savings. It advocates for the use of skilled Montana-based labor in these projects and suggests that reconductoring existing lines with modern technologies can provide benefits at lower costs. The resolution concludes by affirming the legislature's commitment to upgrading and expanding electric transmission infrastructure as a fundamental step toward ensuring affordable and reliable electricity service, which is crucial for the state's economic stability. Copies of the resolution will be sent to various state and federal officials to garner support for this initiative.
