Prohibit guaranteed income programs

This bill prohibits local governments in Montana from creating or enforcing guaranteed income programs, which provide regular cash payments to individuals without requiring work or training. It directly affects cities, counties, school districts, and other local political subdivisions by banning them from adopting ordinances or rules that make such payments. The Attorney General is authorized to issue cease and desist orders to any local government that violates this prohibition and can seek court injunctions if the local government does not comply. This legislation aims to ensure statewide uniformity by preventing local variations in guaranteed income policy implementation.
