Senate Bill No. [insert bill number] aims to revise the definition of "tourist home" within Montana law by amending Section 50-51-102 of the Montana Code Annotated (MCA). The bill specifies that a "tourist home" is defined as 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.

In addition to the revised definition of "tourist home," the bill includes an immediate effective date upon passage and approval. The amendments aim to clarify the regulations surrounding tourist homes and ensure that they are distinctly categorized from other types of lodging establishments, such as bed and breakfasts and guest ranches.
