Montana Legislative Referendum 121

Montana Legislative Referendum 121 was a referendum held in Montana in 2012 that denied state funded services to illegal immigrants.

[4] The Montana Immigrant Justice Alliance challenged the validity of the law shortly after it was approved by the electorate of Montana.
