House Bill No. introduced by B. Mitchell aims to revise the laws governing county regulation of transient retail merchants. The bill grants the Board of County Commissioners or the governing body of an alternative form of government the authority to regulate and license transient retail merchants, with the stipulation that such regulations are subject to any legal restrictions or limitations. This new provision is intended to enhance local governance over transient retail activities within counties.

Additionally, the bill repeals several existing sections of the Montana Code Annotated related to the licensing of transient retail merchants, including definitions, applicability, and various licensing requirements. The specific sections being repealed include 7-21-2401 through 7-21-2411, which encompass a range of regulations from the necessity of a license to the rights of aggrieved purchasers. The intent behind these changes is to streamline the regulatory framework and empower counties to manage transient retail operations more effectively.
