House Bill No. introduced by Z. Wirth and others aims to prohibit inactive electors from signing petitions in Montana. The bill amends Section 13-27-102 of the Montana Code Annotated (MCA) to specify that only qualified electors may sign petitions, explicitly stating that "an inactive elector, as defined in 13-1-101, may not sign a petition." This change is intended to ensure that only active voters participate in the petition process.

Additionally, the bill includes a provision that prohibits individuals gathering signatures for petitions from being compensated based on the number of signatures they collect. The act is set to take effect immediately upon passage and approval.
