Montana Constitutional Initiative 133: Guarantee Impartial, Predictable, Transparent, and Expeditious Processes for Ballot Initiatives
Plain-English Summary
Constitutional Initiative 133 would add the initiative and referendum power to Montana's Declaration of Rights, ensuring fair and clear processes for ballot issues. It aims to prevent government interference and the use of government resources to support or oppose ballot issues. The initiative also includes a right to withdraw one's signature from a petition before the submission deadline.
What each outcome does
If Constitutional Initiative 133 passes, the right to initiative and referendum will be added to the state's Declaration of Rights, guaranteeing impartial, predictable, transparent, and expeditious processes for ballot issues. It would also establish a right for individuals to withdraw their signatures from petitions.
If Constitutional Initiative 133 fails, the initiative and referendum power will not be added to the state's Declaration of Rights, and the current processes for ballot initiatives, governed by Articles III, IV, and XIV of the Montana Constitution, will remain in place.
