AI Summary
This bill authorizes the Governor of Montana to negotiate and enter into agreements with tribal governments regarding marijuana regulation, creating a framework for cross-jurisdictional cooperation. The agreements can address a wide range of marijuana-related issues, including criminal and civil law enforcement, commercial production and processing, medical and pharmaceutical research, taxation, and dispute resolution. Specifically, the agreements will apply to marijuana sales involving tribes, tribal enterprises, or tribal member-owned businesses, and can include provisions for tax exemptions for marijuana grown or processed within tribal jurisdictions. The bill requires that any marijuana agreements involving production, processing, and sales in Indian country must address public health and safety, facility security, and cross-border marijuana commerce. To support these efforts, the bill appropriates $1,000 to the Office of Indian Affairs for the fiscal year beginning July 1, 2025, and mandates that the Secretary of State send a copy of the act to each federally recognized tribal government in Montana. The bill is set to become effective on July 1, 2025, and is intended to be codified as part of Title 18, Chapter 11 of Montana law.
