Revise laws related to short-term rentals

This bill reclassifies short-term rentals as residential uses rather than commercial activities, which directly affects property owners, renters, and local zoning authorities in Montana. It establishes that short-term rentals are generally permitted in any area where residential use is allowed, unless a jurisdiction explicitly prohibits them across an entire zoning district or area. The law also creates specific protections for primary residences, allowing owners to rent out their homes even if local rules ban short-term rentals, provided the owner lives there at least 183 days annually. Additionally, the bill requires additional analysis before local governments can restrict or prohibit short-term rentals, ensuring communities consider the impact of such decisions.
