HB 295 is dealing with gates on public roads.

Montana is long overdue for better law governing the responsibilities of landowners who claim a right to put gates on disputed public rights of way across their land.
If the road is not public they can establish that fact with due process of law.  If the road is public they must be held accountable for showing contempt for the law if they pre-emptively gate the road with no legal process.
Please pass HB 295.
 The committee vote will come as early as tomorrow.  Please send emails to:





And call the Capital switchboard and leave a message for House Judiciary Committee:  Information Desk, 406-444-4800.

Please be polite.

All:

HB 295 has been heard in the House Judiciary Committee and we need to support this bill. It increases the fine for blocking a County Road from $10 per day to $500 per day. DO NOT DELAY, The Committee will be making a decision soon (maybe yet today) and we need to voice our support for this bill. It should open a lot of public land which is now inaccesable due to illegally locked gates. Attached is the email addresses of the committee. Just copy and paste or drag and drop.
