This bill aims to revise municipal zoning laws by mandating that certain cities incorporate provisions for duplex housing within their zoning regulations. It includes the establishment of definitions relevant to duplex housing and amends existing sections of the Montana Code Annotated (MCA), specifically sections 76-2-304 and 76-2-309, to reflect these changes.

Additionally, the bill introduces a delayed effective date, allowing municipalities time to adjust their zoning regulations accordingly. The overall intent is to promote the development of duplex housing as a viable option in urban planning, thereby addressing housing needs in specific cities.
