This bill revises county zoning laws in Montana, specifically addressing the process for terminating a zoning district. It allows for the termination of a zoning district if the county has opted into the Montana Land Use Planning Act or if the zoning district is to be included in a larger zoning district. The bill amends Sections 76-2-118 and 76-2-229 of the Montana Code Annotated (MCA) to reflect these changes.

Key amendments include the replacement of the term "Referendum to terminate" with "Termination of" zoning district in both sections. The bill establishes that real property owners can petition the board of county commissioners to submit a referendum for termination, requiring signatures from at least 20% of property owners. Additionally, it allows the board of county commissioners to terminate a zoning district after providing notice and holding a public hearing if the county has decided to comply with the Montana Land Use Planning Act or has created a larger zoning district that encompasses the area of the zoning district to be terminated.
