LC 1527 Legislature · 2025 Regular Session

Remove boarding and rooming houses from lodging requirements

This bill removes boarding and rooming houses from Montana's hotel and motel public health and safety requirements by amending state code definitions. The legislation clarifies what constitutes a retail food establishment and updates definitions for cottage food operations, mobile food establishments, and other food-related terms to ensure regulatory clarity. Directly affected parties include owners and operators of boarding and rooming houses who will no longer be subject to the lodging-specific health and safety inspections previously applied to hotels and motels. The bill focuses on revising existing legal definitions rather than creating new regulations or changing enforcement procedures.
