Five ballot measures will appear on your ballot this election. The Montana Human Rights Network has taken the following positions on these ballot measures.
Vote NO on LR-130
This initiative eliminates local decision making on concealed carry laws and creates a lot of confusion. The Montana Human Rights Network opposes LR-130.
Vote Yes on CI-118 and I-190
These two initiatives would legalize and tax marijuana for use by individuals over 21 years of age. The Montana Human Rights Network supports these initiatives because it will help reduce the number of people who end up in prisons and jails because of minor marijuana violations. It will also bring in much needed state revenue that can be used to support important programs and services.
No position on C-46 and C-47
These initiatives amend the state constitution to change the requirements for signature gathering on constitutional initiatives. The language changes just update our constitution to match our current practices based on a court decision years ago.
