Montana Governor Greg Gianforte signed HB 401 into law on May 1, making Montana the fourth state to ban lab-grown meat. This move aligns Montana with states like Indiana and countries such as Italy, which have enacted similar bans citing health and regulatory concerns. In addition to the lab-grown meat ban, Governor Gianforte has signed several other bills, including HB 343, which protects students' rights to participate in released time for religious instruction during the school day, and legislation allocating marijuana tax revenue toward wildlife habitat improvement and restoration projects. Montana has also established a biotech and longevity hub, signaling a push to innovate outside of federal FDA frameworks. Furthermore, the state recently passed a law banning Pride Flags from being displayed in taxpayer-funded facilities. The governor also supported property tax reforms that lower rates for full-time residents while increasing taxes on second homes and short-term rentals.
