Revise offense of endangering the welfare of children

This bill amends Montana's endangering the welfare of children statute to clarify parental responsibilities and add new criminal provisions. It defines when parents or guardians do not violate care duties by allowing children under 18 to engage in age-appropriate independent activities like walking to school or short outdoor play. The law also prohibits knowingly contributing to a child under 16 abandoning home or engaging in sexual conduct, and creates new felony offenses for producing methamphetamine in locations where children might be present or exposing children to methamphetamine. Additionally, the bill makes it a felony to provide surgical procedures, puberty blockers, or hormone treatments to children under 16 for gender affirmation purposes, and establishes a mechanism for parents to request protection orders against unwanted contact from adults without legal supervision rights.
