The bill seeks to empower municipalities in Montana to regulate unauthorized camping on public property or facilities. It amends Section 7-1-4124 of the Montana Code Annotated (MCA) to include new provisions that allow municipalities to prohibit or regulate unauthorized occupancy or camping on public property or facilities they own or control. This addition aims to enhance local governance and address issues related to unauthorized camping, which can impact public spaces and community resources.

In the amendment, the bill also makes a minor adjustment by deleting the conjunction "and" before the new provision and adding it in two places to ensure clarity in the list of powers granted to municipalities. The overall intent of the bill is to provide municipalities with the necessary authority to manage public spaces effectively while maintaining public safety and welfare.
