This part of the article isn't bad news.

House Bill 212, passed by the 2015 Legislature, went into effect Oct. 1. In part, it clarified that the word “harvest” in the Montana Constitution includes trapping. Opponents of the trap-free initiative maintain a constitutional amendment is needed to ban trapping. That would require twice as many signatures to get onto the ballot.

They have had a really hard time gathering 10,000 qualified signatures in the past, gathering twice that many hopefully means that this won't make it to the ballot.

A legislative act defining a constitutional amendment is worth about as much as a piece of toilet paper.
