Providing authority for municipalities to control unauthorized occupancy of municipal property
This bill grants Montana municipalities the authority to create and enforce rules against unauthorized camping and occupancy on public property they own or control. By amending state law, it allows local governments to pass ordinances that specifically address this issue, giving them clearer legal grounds to manage such situations. The provision does not create new penalties but enables cities and towns to regulate these activities within existing legal frameworks. Local officials can now use this authority to maintain public spaces without needing separate state-level approval for each specific measure.
