The bill revises the definition of "tourist home" within Montana law by amending Section 50-51-102, MCA. The new definition specifies that a "tourist home" is an entire private home or condominium that is never occupied by an owner or manager and is rented, leased, or furnished in its entirety to transient guests on a daily or weekly basis. This change replaces the previous definition, which described a tourist home as a private residence that could be occupied by an owner or manager.

Additionally, the bill includes an immediate effective date upon passage and approval. This legislative change aims to clarify the classification of tourist homes, ensuring that they are distinctly defined from other types of accommodations such as bed and breakfasts or guest ranches, which may involve owner or manager occupancy.
