LC 3420 Legislature · 2025 Regular Session

Generally revise laws related to local government and marijuana dispensaries

This bill clarifies how Montana local governments can regulate adult-use marijuana businesses in counties where voters previously rejected Initiative Measure No. 190. It requires local jurisdictions to hold elections to approve specific business types - including dispensaries, cultivators, and manufacturers - before they can operate in those areas, while businesses in counties that approved the initiative remain unaffected. The law also establishes procedures for municipalities to vote separately from surrounding counties on marijuana business approvals and includes protections for existing medical marijuana licensees transitioning to adult-use operations. Local governments retain authority to set health and safety regulations for licensed marijuana businesses regardless of election outcomes.
