House Bill No. introduced by T. Millett proposes an amendment to Article XIII of the Montana Constitution aimed at regulating child pornography and other obscene material. The bill allows state and local governments to outlaw and punish the possession, distribution, or receipt of such materials, and establishes a private right of action for individuals to enforce violations of federal child pornography laws. The new section added to the constitution clarifies that no rights to possess or distribute child pornography or other obscene materials exist under state law, and it empowers individuals to sue those who engage in these activities.

The bill also includes provisions that require a two-thirds vote from the legislature for passage, as it seeks to amend the constitution. It stipulates that the act will be submitted to the qualified electors of Montana during the general election in November 2026, allowing voters to decide on the proposed constitutional amendment. The language of the bill reflects a significant shift in the legal framework surrounding child pornography and obscenity in Montana, emphasizing the state's authority to regulate these issues more strictly.
