The bill amends Section 7-1-4124 of the Montana Code Annotated to grant municipalities the authority to regulate unauthorized camping on public property or facilities. Specifically, it allows municipalities to prohibit or regulate the temporary or permanent storage of personal property and the act of sleeping or camping on municipal real property. This addition aims to enhance local governance over public spaces and address issues related to unauthorized camping.

In addition to the new provisions, the bill also makes a minor adjustment by deleting the conjunction "and" before the new powers, thereby streamlining the list of municipal powers. The overall intent of the legislation is to empower local governments to manage public property more effectively, ensuring that public spaces are maintained for community use and safety.
