Montana I-190
Montana I-190, the Montana Marijuana Legalization and Tax Initiative is a 2020 ballot cannabis legalization initiative in the U.S. state of Montana. The sponsor is New Approach Montana, in partnership with the Marijuana Policy Project.
Initiative I-190 and matching constitutional amendment initiative were submitted by New Approach Montana to the Montana Secretary of State in January, and approved for signature gathering as of May 1, 2020. Following a lawsuit and a declaration from the Montana Supreme Court, the Montana Secretary of State determined that mail-in voter signatures would be allowed for all initiatives without requiring notary seal, and starting May 9, the sponsors made a downloadable mail-in form available. On June 19, groups collecting voter signatures for the legalization initiative said they had submitted almost twice the minimum to the Secretary of State by the deadline. The sponsors announced in July that they had reached the threshold for ballot inclusion, based on county-level voter certification.
