Why Does Your Right to Know Matter?
As Montanans, we have a unique opportunity to demand transparency from our government through our constitutional Right to Know. Though six other states have similar provisions, Montana is the only state in which the legislature cannot restrict our right to request information.
What is the Right to Know, and Why Should You Care?
The Right to Know appears alongside your right to Freedom of Speech, Right to Bear Arms and Right of Suffrage in the Montana Constitution, and it is every bit as important. Under the Right to Know, you have a right to request public information from your state and local governments.
