This bill proposes to repeal Article XIII, section 7 of the Montana Constitution, which currently prohibits same-sex marriages. The repeal is intended to be submitted to the qualified electors of Montana for approval during the general election in November 2026. If the electorate approves the repeal, the new law will take effect on January 1, 2027.
Additionally, the bill stipulates that a two-thirds roll call vote from all members of the legislature is required for its passage, as it constitutes a legislative proposal to amend the constitution. The ballot for the election will include options for voters to express their support or opposition to the constitutional amendment.
