Montana s marijuana implementation bill survived intense scrutiny from a legalization-hesitant Republican majority to pass the Legislature on Tuesday. House Bill 701 from Rep. Mike Hopkins, R-Missoula, cleared the House on a 67-32 vote and now heads to Republican Gov. Greg Gianforte, where he is expected to sign it. The bill allocates $6 million to Gianforte s fund planned for substance abuse prevention and addiction treatment, a program lawmakers shut down in February as a standalone item. The bill had died twice on the House side, once on its first vote in the House Taxation Committee and again Monday. Negotiations in the Senate this month led to compromises for both Democrats, who wanted to align the proposal more closely to Initiative 190 s language, and Republicans wary of legalization.
