LC 2205 Legislature · 2025 Regular Session

Clarify state's position on global warming and greenhouse gases

This bill (LC 2205) is a declarative statement by the Montana Legislature asserting the state's position on climate science, directly challenging the Montana Supreme Court's ruling in *Held v. Montana*. It disputes specific findings from the court case, including claims about human-caused warming, greenhouse gas accumulation, and climate impacts, arguing scientific consensus is irrelevant to climate science. The bill does not establish new environmental regulations, reporting requirements, or policy changes - it solely aims to formally reject the court's scientific conclusions. It addresses the legal context of the *Held* case but contains no concrete policy mechanisms or affected parties beyond the state's official stance.
