Individual and Property Rights
- Eminent Domain – Monica is a strong supporter of property rights and she led the way to pass legislation to clarify that an easement is the preferred interest taken in eminent domain. This successful piece of legislation in 2001, was a direct result of her efforts in the 1999 session and on the Environmental Quality Council Eminent Domain Subcommittee interim study in 2000.
- Patriot Act - Monica understands that protecting our civil liberties is an important part of the job of anyone who is elected to represent us. That’s why she—along with 85 percent of Montana legislators, Democrats and Republicans—voted for a resolution in 2005 urging Congress, the President and Montana’s Representatives to fix this law so it would protect the civil liberties of all Americans.
