SB 110 Montana Senate · 2025 Regular Session

Revise laws relating to amusement rides and safety

SB 110 revises laws concerning amusement rides and safety, directly affecting ride operators and the public. It mandates that all amusement rides undergo annual inspections by independent "qualified inspectors" who must certify the ride's safety based on recognized industry standards. Rides cannot operate for the public without a valid inspection certificate, and new inspections are required after major modifications. The bill also defines "serious injury or illness" and outlines operator responsibilities, including maintaining first-aid stations and ensuring staff are not under the influence.
