LC 3457 Legislature · 2025 Regular Session

Generally revise marijuana laws

This bill updates Montana's marijuana laws to clarify how local governments can regulate marijuana businesses in counties where voters previously rejected Initiative 190. It allows local jurisdictions to hold elections to approve or prohibit specific types of marijuana businesses, such as dispensaries, cultivators, and testing labs, while exempting areas where voters already approved the initiative. The legislation also provides temporary protections for former medical marijuana licensees who are transitioning to adult-use operations, allowing them to continue operating while local governments finalize their regulatory decisions. Additionally, the bill grants local governments broader authority to inspect and regulate marijuana businesses for public health and safety reasons.
