The bill aims to revise the laws governing the regulation of transient retail merchants by granting authority to county commissioners and alternative governing bodies to regulate and license these merchants. This new legal framework allows counties to impose restrictions and limitations as prescribed by law, thereby enhancing local control over transient retail activities.

Additionally, the bill repeals several existing sections of the Montana Code Annotated that pertain to the licensing of transient retail merchants, specifically sections 7-21-2401 through 7-21-2411. This repeal eliminates previous licensing requirements, including fees, application processes, and compliance measures, streamlining the regulatory landscape for transient retail merchants in Montana.
