LC 2355 Legislature · 2025 Regular Session

Revise business laws relating to snowmobile rental and trail maintenance

This bill amends Montana's snowmobile trail pass fees by adding a $5 trail enhancement rental fee that applies each time a snowmobile or motorized equipment is rented from a licensed business. The fee is separate from the existing winter trail pass, which costs $20 for Montana residents or registered vehicles and $35 for non-residents or unregistered equipment. All rental fees collected must be deposited into the state special revenue fund and used specifically for trail grooming, vehicle repairs, and trail maintenance in areas where rental businesses operate. The bill also clarifies that trail passes are not required for people renting registered snowmobiles or participating in sanctioned dog sled races.
