Senate Bill 174 revises existing laws regarding the classification and review of buildings for lease or rent, specifically including recreational vehicles and mobile homes as part of this category during subdivision reviews. The bill amends several sections of the Montana Code Annotated (MCA), notably deleting previous language that excluded recreational camping vehicles and mobile homes from subdivision regulations. This change expands the definition of what constitutes a subdivision to encompass areas designated for these types of housing, thereby enhancing the regulatory framework surrounding subdivisions.

Additionally, the bill modifies park dedication requirements, allowing local governing bodies to waive these requirements for subdivisions that provide spaces for recreational camping vehicles or mobile homes, as well as for condominiums. It grants local authorities the discretion to determine suitable locations for parks and playgrounds, with a mandate to use dedicated funds for their development and maintenance. The bill also clarifies that buildings created for lease or rent on a single tract may be exempt from certain provisions if they comply with zoning regulations, and it establishes that regulations for four or more buildings must include assessments for adequate water supply and emergency services, aligning with an adopted growth policy.
