The bill amends Section 37-56-104 of the Montana Code Annotated to exempt managers of licensed lodging establishments, as defined in Title 50, chapter 51, from the licensing requirements for real property managers. This change is intended to streamline regulations for those managing lodging establishments, allowing them to operate without the need for a property manager license. The specific legal language added to the statute states that a person managing an establishment licensed under Title 50, chapter 51 is exempt from the licensing requirements.

In addition to this insertion, the bill also removes the previous provision that included a general exemption for property management duties incidental to other employment-related duties. The bill is set to take effect immediately upon passage and approval, reflecting the legislature's intent to quickly implement these changes to support the lodging industry in Montana.
