Revise civil liability laws
This bill amends Montana's public nuisance laws to explicitly classify camping in violation of city ordinances or state statutes as a public nuisance. The change directly affects individuals who camp in unauthorized locations and local governments enforcing camping regulations. Under the new provision, knowingly maintaining such camping areas could result in a fine of up to $500, with each day of violation counted as a separate offense. The bill also retains existing protections for agricultural operations and shooting ranges from nuisance claims while maintaining the general definition of public nuisance for conditions that endanger safety or obstruct property use.
