The bill aims to revise laws concerning recreational vehicles by allowing off-site displays and sales for certain motor vehicles under specific conditions. It amends existing sections of the Montana Code Annotated (MCA), specifically 61-4-123 and 61-4-201. Key changes include the introduction of a new definition for "motor vehicle," which now encompasses recreational vehicles, motorboats, personal watercraft, snowmobiles, and off-highway vehicles. Additionally, the bill permits dealers to conduct off-premises displays and sales with prior notice to the department and the acquisition of a permit, provided they comply with local zoning ordinances. Dealers are also allowed to display vehicles in certain public locations without a permit, as long as no sales occur at those sites.

Furthermore, the bill establishes restrictions on where dealers can sell or display vehicles, emphasizing that sales must occur at the dealer's licensed location unless specific conditions are met. It also outlines the requirements for maintaining records, office facilities, and inventory segregation when multiple dealers operate in the same geographic area. The legislation aims to enhance the regulatory framework for recreational vehicle sales while ensuring compliance with local laws and promoting fair competition among dealers.
