Bill > SB442

This bill amends Montana's property manager licensing laws to add an exemption for managers of licensed lodging establishments, meaning individuals who manage hotels, motels, or other lodging businesses defined in Title 50, chapter 51, will no longer be required to obtain a real property manager license. The bill modifies existing law that previously outlined various exemptions from property manager licensing requirements, such as property owners managing their own properties, family members managing properties, and individuals managing four or fewer residential units. By adding this new exemption, the bill reduces regulatory burden on lodging establishment managers, allowing them to perform their property management duties without needing to obtain a specific license. The amendment is relatively narrow in scope, targeting only managers of licensed lodging establishments, and will become effective immediately upon passage and approval. The bill maintains other existing exemptions and continues to require that certain property management activities, such as those performed by real estate brokers and salespersons, adhere to existing licensing regulations.
