Abstract

Amici Curiae are members of the Consortium for the Advancement of Children’s Constitutional Rights and Healthy Mothers, Heathy Babies: The Montana Coalition who are children’s rights advocates and legal scholars. Amici submit this brief to: (1) highlight Montana’s Constitution as a leader in advancing children’s constitutional rights; (2) draw this Court’s attention to the Montana Constitution’s text and history recognizing children’s right to a clean and healthful environment; and (3) explain that a decision not to safeguard children’s right to a clean and healthful environment in reliance on adult-centric analytical missteps advanced by Appellants (and supporting Amici) would deny Montana’s children access to justice.
