SB 346 Montana Senate · 2025 Regular Session

Revise workers' compensation laws.

The bill titled "SB 346: Revise workers' compensation laws" appears to be mislabeled. The provided bill text actually describes **Senate Bill No. 364** (not 346), which establishes rules for "kill switches" in electronic devices. This bill requires a warrant for entities to remotely disable a *personally owned* electronic consumer product (including motor vehicles) unless specific exceptions apply (e.g., unpaid subscriptions, safety features like automatic braking during medical emergencies). It also allows individuals to sue for $10,000 per violation. The bill was withdrawn and died in process in 2025 and does not relate to workers' compensation. *(Note: The query incorrectly references "SB 346" and a workers' compensation title, but the text provided matches SB 364, which addresses kill switches.)*
