The bill prohibits state and local governments from mandating the installation of solar panels, batteries, or electric vehicle chargers in building construction. This legislation aims to ensure that property owners have the freedom to decide whether to incorporate these renewable energy technologies into their buildings without government compulsion.

Additionally, the bill amends Sections 7-1-111 and 50-60-203 of the Montana Code Annotated (MCA) to reflect this new restriction on government requirements regarding building energy systems. The specific legal language changes are not detailed in the summary, but the overall intent is to limit government intervention in the construction choices of individuals and businesses.
