MT SB252

Municipal and county zoning regulations must treat manufactured housing and factory-built housing the same as other residential units, prohibiting discriminatory treatment based on construction type

Creates a rebuttable presumption in permit or variance proceedings that placement of manufactured or factory-built homes will not adversely affect property values of conventional housing

Adds "factory-built housing" as a new statutory definition: factory-assembled residential structures with permanent foundations that meet state inspection requirements but are not HUD-certified

Expands allowable commercial purposes on state trust land leases to include mobile home parks and multiple manufactured housing units for lease or rent

Amends five sections of Montana Code Annotated (76-2-202, 76-2-302, 76-25-103, 76-25-303, and 77-1-902) to incorporate consistent definitions and protections across zoning and land use statutes
