HELENA, Mont. (AP) — The Montana House on Thursday backed proposed pension fixes from both sides of the aisle — and delayed a final decision on which way to go.

The GOP-led chamber endorsed a plan favored by many Republicans that ends the pension system for new employees, replacing it with something like a 401(k) savings plan, and reduces benefits for current employees who would retain a pension. House Bill 338 advanced Thursday with a 63-37 initial vote.
