Revising the definition of a tourist home

SB 363 revises Montana's definition of a "tourist home" to clarify that it refers to an entire private home or condominium rented out in full to guests (daily or weekly), with the owner or manager *not* occupying the property. This change corrects a wording error in the current law (which mistakenly said "not never occupied") and distinguishes tourist homes from other lodging types like bed-and-breakfasts or guest ranches. The bill directly affects property owners who rent out entire homes as short-term rentals (e.g., Airbnb-style stays), ensuring they are classified under this specific category for regulatory purposes. The definition change would determine which state regulations apply to these rentals, without altering other rules for lodging businesses.
