Do No Harm v. Gregory Gianforte

On March 12, 2024, Do No Harm filed a lawsuit against Gregory Gianforte in his official capacity as governor of Montana.  For nearly 33 years Montana governors have been required to consider an individual’s race and gender when making appointments to the 12-member Montana Board of Medical Examiners.

On April 7, 2025, House Bill 215 was enacted, eliminating the “gender and racial balancing” requirements. The lawsuit was voluntarily dismissed on May 16, 2025.
