HELENA, Mont. – Governor Greg Gianforte today issued the following statement after Secretary of State Christi Jacobsen provided the results of the legislative poll on Senate Bill 442:

“I applaud the Montana Legislature for today rejecting radical judicial overreach, as the court sought to meddle in the legislative process. Legislators also made clear that we should continue using marijuana revenue to fund addiction and recovery services, law enforcement, veterans, wildlife habitat, and state parks and trails, just as Montanans intended when they voted for recreational marijuana at the ballot box in 2020.”
