House Bill No. introduced by T. Millett authorizes counties in Montana to adopt noise ordinances, allowing them to regulate noise levels within their jurisdictions. The bill stipulates that the governing body of a county can create an ordinance that aligns with existing provisions in sections 7-5-103 through 7-5-107. The ordinance can define the specific areas it covers, outline exceptions for certain activities, and set noise level limits during designated times. However, it is important to note that these ordinances cannot apply to areas within incorporated cities or towns.

Additionally, the bill permits counties to impose fines for violations of the noise ordinance, with penalties capped at $200, and explicitly states that violations cannot result in imprisonment. The bill includes a codification instruction indicating that the new section will be integrated into Title 7, chapter 5, part 21 of the Montana Code.
