Update on Sen. Ellsworth as of 4/2/2025
Mr. President, Article V Section (1) of the Montana Constitution gives sole authority to the Montana Senate to expel or punish a member for good cause.
Therefore, I move that Senator Ellsworth be punished for good cause as follows:
Sen. Ellsworth is removed from Senate Standing Committees and will not be assigned to legislative interim committees during the 2025 Biennium.
Sen. Ellsworth will be allowed to vote remotely on second, third reading and motions during the 2025 legislative session or any special session of the 2025 Biennium.
Sen. Ellsworth is not allowed to have verbal contact with executive branch directors or legislative staff unless he is first contacted by them during the 2025 biennium. He may correspond with legislative staff or directors by letter or email.
Sen. Ellsworth will not be permitted access to legislator or legislative services, fiscal or audit divisions office space during the 2025 biennium.
Sen. Ellsworth’s Senate Floor privileges are rescinded for life.
