LWVO submits amicus brief in Montana in support of right to ballot initiative process.
(copy and pasted from LWVO 01/16/26 Weekly Update)
LWVO, along with Missouri Voter Protection Coalition and Florida Decides Healthcare, filed an amicus brief in support of Montanans Decide in their lawsuit challenging Attorney General Austin Knudsen’s attempt to keep Ballot Issue 8 from voters. [Ballot Issue] 8 is a citizens initiative introduced by Montanans Decide that would protect the right to propose and vote on laws using the ballot measure process in Montana.
The amicus highlights the attacks on initiative and referendum rights in other states like Ohio and argues that BI-8 is necessary to head off similar attacks on the rights granted to Montanans in our state constitution.
