Bill > SB300

This bill generally revises property laws in Montana to protect property rights. The key provisions are: 1. A homeowners' association cannot impose more restrictive covenants or conditions on a member's property than those that existed when the member acquired the property, unless the member expressly agrees to the new restriction in writing. This protects members' basic rights to use their property for residential, agricultural, or commercial purposes, rent their property, and develop their property within state laws. 2. The bill applies to associations of unit owners under the Unit Ownership Act. 3. The bill is intended to be codified as part of Montana's property laws in Title 70, and the provisions of Title 70 will apply. 4. The bill includes severability and effective date clauses, ensuring the valid parts of the law remain in effect and that the law takes effect immediately upon passage and approval.
