Provide for the Montana Firearms Liability Clarification Act

The Montana Firearms Liability Clarification Act (HB 801) revises state laws to limit the legal liability of firearms manufacturers and sellers. It establishes strict conditions for bringing "negligent marketing" claims against these companies, requiring proof that marketing directly targeted prohibited individuals, encouraged unlawful use, and violated a specific firearm-related law. The bill also mandates a narrow interpretation of the "predicate exception" in federal law, preventing the use of general state consumer protection or public nuisance laws to bring such claims. Individuals filing claims that do not meet these new requirements may face dismissal and be ordered to pay the defendant's legal fees.
