Provide for a Montana individual freedom act
This bill establishes the Montana Individual Freedom Act, which prohibits state and local government agencies and the Department of Military Affairs from spending funds on organizations that discriminate based on race, color, ethnicity, national origin, sex, disability, or religion. It also bars these agencies from using state, local, or federal money to support programs focused on diversity, equity, and inclusion or to engage in political or social activism. The Attorney General is given authority to investigate violations of these restrictions and may create rules to outline enforcement procedures. The law takes effect on July 1, 2025, and applies to all branches of state government, local municipalities, and military affairs units.
