“this resolution concerns testimony and representation in a professional license disciplinary proceeding pending before the Montana Board of Social Work Examiners and Professional Counselors. In this proceeding, the licensee, Laura Block Lower, is challenging a screening panel's findings that she was in violation of her professional obligations, which may have contributed to her then-former client's eventual suicide. The licensee is seeking testimony from a staffer in Senator Tester's office about constituent casework that office provided to her former client in the weeks leading up to his suicide. Senator Tester has no objection to providing any relevant evidence from his staff in this proceeding. This resolution would accordingly authorize Senator Tester's employee to provide evidence in this proceeding, with representation by the Senate Legal Counsel.”
