The bill amends Section 45-8-111 of the Montana Code Annotated to revise the definition of "public nuisance" to explicitly include camping that violates city ordinances or statutes. The new legal language inserted into the current law clarifies that such camping is considered a public nuisance, alongside existing definitions that encompass conditions endangering safety or health, obstructing property use, and premises associated with unlawful conduct.

Additionally, the bill maintains the existing provisions regarding the offense of maintaining a public nuisance, the implications of such actions on communities, and the exceptions for agricultural operations and shooting ranges. The penalties for maintaining a public nuisance remain unchanged, with fines not exceeding $500 for each day the nuisance persists.
