SB 341 Montana Senate · 2025 Regular Session

Revise laws related to recreational vehicle sales

SB 341 revises laws related to the sale of recreational vehicles, boats, and powersports vehicles. It allows dealers of these specific vehicle types to conduct off-premises displays and sales in counties different from their primary business location. This is permitted if their franchise agreement includes the other county and there is no other authorized dealer for the same manufacturer's model established there. Dealers must provide prior notice to the department, and these off-premises events are limited to 10 consecutive days, with a maximum of 10 per calendar year.

MINOR
The bill text was corrected to use the plural form 'SECTIONS' instead of 'SECTION' when listing the amended statutes. This is a minor grammatical and technical correction that ensures consistency in legal terminology without altering the bill's actual policy, scope, or requirements.
TECHNICAL

Corrected a grammatical error in the title by changing 'SECTION SECTIONS' to 'SECTIONS' to properly reflect the amendment of two distinct statutes.
