Providing for nondiscrimination related to firearms possession or activity
This bill prohibits discrimination in Montana against individuals or businesses based on their possession or advocacy of firearms, ammunition, or related accessories. It requires insurance and financial entities seeking state licensure to submit a certificate of nondiscrimination, which must be made available as a public record. The law allows private individuals to sue for damages and attorney fees if they experience discrimination, while explicitly excluding employment relationships from these protections. Entities found in violation face fines of up to $5,000 per day for each offense, with enforcement handled by the attorney general or county attorneys.
