The bill revises public transit laws in Montana, specifically regarding the creation and expansion of urban transportation districts. It allows a county commission to initiate the process for establishing or enlarging a district through a resolution, which must include a map of the proposed area and call for a public hearing. Additionally, the bill mandates that urban transportation districts maintain an inventory of areas added to the district and permits the removal of areas that have not received direct transportation service for five years without incurring existing indebtedness.

Furthermore, the bill modifies the provisions related to municipal bus services, allowing them to extend beyond the previous 8-mile limit under certain conditions, such as external funding or interlocal agreements. It also updates various sections of the Montana Code Annotated (MCA) to reflect these changes, including definitions and procedures for petitions, public hearings, and the management of transportation services. The amendments aim to enhance the flexibility and efficiency of public transit systems in urban areas.
