House Bill No. introduced by K. Seekins-Crowe and others aims to revise the statutes of limitations concerning claims related to injuries to real property in Montana. The bill amends Section 27-2-102 of the Montana Code Annotated (MCA) to clarify when a claim or cause of action for injury to real property arises. Specifically, it states that such a claim arises when the conduct causing the injury is complete, regardless of ongoing injury, and when the property owner is aware or should be aware of the injury.

Additionally, the bill establishes that if a claim for injury to real property is not brought within the specified period of limitation, it will be barred for the original property owner as well as any subsequent owners. This amendment emphasizes the importance of timely action in legal claims related to real property and aims to provide clarity on the accrual of such claims.
