Montana HB921 proposes a constitutional amendment to prohibit child pornography distribution and receipt in violation of federal laws.

Montana HB921 seeks to amend the Montana Constitution to explicitly prohibit the distribution or receipt of child pornography that violates federal racketeering laws. The amendment would allow state and local governments to outlaw and punish such activities. Additionally, it creates a private right of action for individuals to sue those who distribute or receive child pornography, with courts awarding injunctive relief and reasonable attorney fees to prevailing plaintiffs. The amendment requires a two-thirds legislative vote and will be submitted to voters in the November 2026 election.
