The bill proposes revisions to state building codes, specifically allowing places of religious worship to utilize their building space for temporary overnight visitors. This change aims to provide flexibility for religious institutions to support community needs, particularly for individuals requiring short-term accommodations.

Additionally, the bill grants rulemaking authority to relevant state agencies to implement these changes effectively. It amends Section 50-60-203 of the Montana Code Annotated (MCA) to incorporate these provisions and establishes an immediate effective date for the new regulations.
