Capital punishment laws

See main article: Capital punishment in Montana. Capital punishment was applied in this state up to 2015,[2] when it was suspended for lack of any available drug for lethal injection which met the legal requirements; an attempt in the legislature to renew executions failed in April 2021, as a result of which executions will likely remain suspended until at least 2023.[3]
