Now, a Missoula District Court will hear oral arguments tomorrow in a case that challenges Senate Bill 458. An act generally revising the laws to provide a common definition for the word sex when referring to a human and then amending language in the Montana Constitution to reflect that.
MISSOULA, Mont. - Missoula District Court will hear oral arguments Tuesday in a case that challenges Senate Bill 458.
The bill was signed into law in March of 2023 by Governor Greg Gianforte that legalized the definition of "sex" to be "male" and "female."
The plaintiffs, represented by the American Civil Liberties Union of Montana, asked the court last December to declare the law unconstitutional because it violates multiple provisions in the Montana Constitution.
The ACLU said the definition of "sex" being binary and reproductively based is also unconstitutional.
