Constitutional amendment prohibiting distribution or receipt of child pornography

This Montana constitutional amendment would allow state and local governments to ban and punish the distribution or receipt of child pornography that violates federal laws, and create a private right for individuals to sue violators. It would override any conflicting state laws, require voter approval in the November 2026 election, and mandate attorney fees for successful lawsuits. The amendment does not create new criminal penalties but clarifies Montana’s authority to enforce existing federal child pornography laws through state action.
