This bill aims to revise Montana's mandatory motor vehicle insurance laws by including motorcycles and quadricycles in the insurance requirements. It specifically removes the exemption that previously applied to certain motorcycles and quadricycles, thereby mandating that these vehicles must also comply with the state's insurance regulations. The bill amends Section 61-6-303 of the Montana Code Annotated (MCA) to reflect these changes.

The amendments include the insertion of new language that clarifies the definition of exempt vehicles, particularly regarding motorcycles and quadricycles. The bill specifies that a motorcycle or quadricycle is only exempt if it is not operating on public ways as defined in 61-8-101. Additionally, the language has been updated to correct the phrasing regarding vehicles operating on highways, ensuring clarity in the law. Overall, the bill seeks to enhance road safety by ensuring that all motor vehicles, including motorcycles and quadricycles, are adequately insured.
