The bill revises the existing electronic license privacy law in Montana by amending Section 61-5-310 of the Montana Code Annotated (MCA). The key change involves the terminology used in the law, specifically replacing the term "driver's license" with "license." This adjustment broadens the scope of the law to encompass all types of licenses, not just driver's licenses.

Additionally, the bill clarifies that displaying an electronic license on a device or providing that device to a peace officer does not imply consent to a search or seizure of the device. This amendment aims to enhance the privacy protections for individuals by ensuring that the act of showing an electronic license does not automatically allow law enforcement to search the device itself.
