Revise indecent exposure laws
This bill amends Montana's indecent exposure laws to specifically prohibit exposing one's genitals or intimate parts in public places to members of the opposite biological sex or the sex assigned at birth. The changes apply to anyone who knowingly or purposely engages in this conduct under circumstances likely to cause affront or alarm, with penalties ranging from fines and county jail time for first offenses to state prison sentences of up to 10 years for third or subsequent convictions. The law also defines specific public places where these rules apply, including restrooms, schools, parks, and other areas accessible to the public, while excluding private residence rooms. Additionally, the bill includes a separate provision for indecent exposure involving minors, which carries stricter penalties including mandatory minimum prison sentences of four years.
