Montana bill would allow counties to claim RS 2477 routes through PAs

A bill that would allow counties to reclaim century-old roads within national parks awaits a vote in the Montana House after it passed out of committee last month.

The House Natural Resources Committee voted 9 to 6 to advance House Bill 418, sponsored by Steve Gunderson, R-Libby. The bill was originally classified as a revenue bill, so it wasn’t subject to the Montana Legislature’s general bill transmittal deadline on Wednesday.
