Montana State Legislature

Post Secondary Education Policy & Budget Subcommittee Information (PEPB) PEPB is an interim subcommittee appointed by the Education and Local Government Interim Committee to recommend legislation, conduct program evaluation, and monitor the budgets for the Montana University System and the Office of the Commissioner of Higher Education. For the 2011 Biennium the Education and Local Government Interim Committee opted not to establish the PEPB. Members of PEPB included bi-partisan representation from the House and Senate, as well as representatives from the Board of Regents, and an appointee by the executive. The Commissioner of Higher Education served as an ex-officio member. The PEPB was staffed by Pam Joehler of the Legislative Fiscal Division, who may be reached at PJoehler@mt.gov or 406-444-2722, and by legislative staff attorney Jeremy Gersovitz.
