Revise local election laws on approval of marijuana businesses

This bill amends Montana's marijuana business regulations to require that local elections approving or disapproving marijuana businesses can only be held in municipalities with a population exceeding 5,000 people. The change restricts who can petition for these elections, limiting them to qualified voters in counties or in municipalities that meet the population threshold, rather than allowing smaller towns to hold separate votes on marijuana business categories. The legislation also clarifies how elections are conducted in counties containing larger municipalities, ensuring votes are separated by location while allowing both county and municipal-level decisions to determine where businesses can operate. Additionally, the bill maintains existing protections for former medical marijuana licensees who continue operating under certain conditions regardless of local election outcomes.
