OCTOBER 19, 2000 A referendum on the upcoming ballot in Montana proposes to impose a state tax on tribal members. Currently, the state has a motor vehicle tax which is based on the value of the vehicle. But the state attorney general says this tax cannot be imposed on tribal members because of federal policy. However, under Legislative Referendum 115, the tax would be changed to a flat fee. This has led state officials to conclude it could be imposed on tribal members, who number about 20,000 in the state. Get the Story:
