Montana Governor Greg Gianforte signs bill pulling plug on public vote for nuclear power
May 9, 2021 /
Gov. Greg Gianforte signed House Bill 273 on Friday, which pulls the plug on a 43-year-old referendum that left decisions on construction of new nuclear power plants to a public vote and now transfers those decisions to the Legislature instead.
Montana voters passed the Montana Empowering Voters to Approve Proposed Nuclear Facilities Initiative in 1978, also known as I-80, that puts proposed nuclear-power facilities up for a public vote.
