Revise urban transportation district laws

SB 510 revises Montana's urban transportation district laws to require elected commissioners instead of appointed boards, prohibit local governments from forcing property owners to add land to a district as a condition for service, and mandate districts to publicly document all added areas. The bill allows property owners in districts that have not received direct transportation service for five years to petition for removal from the district without liability for the district’s existing debts. It also requires districts to maintain clear maps of their boundaries and sets specific procedures for adding or removing properties. These changes directly affect property owners within transportation districts and local governments managing such districts.
