BALLOT MEASURES

✅ Sign: CI-124 (Ballot Issue #7)
Short Subject: Amends the Montana Constitution to remove jurisdiction from the Supreme Court to govern admission to the Bar and the conduct of its members.

✅ Sign: CI-125 (Ballot Issue #8)
Short Subject: Currently, under the Montana Constitution, only a district court judge may convene a grand jury. CI-125 amends Article II, Section 20 of the Montana Constitution to also allow 100 plus one-half of one percent of a county’s electors to convene a grand jury by complaint and petition.

❌ Decline to Sign: CI-127 (Ballot Issue #13)

Short Subject: A constitutional initiative that would amend the Montana Constitution to expressly provide a right to make and carry out decisions about one’s own pregnancy, including the right to abortion.
