About 14 inches of rain and melted snow fall in a normal year, most of it in June. About 18 days a year hit 90°F or more.

Montana rules to know before your website goes live

A website doesn’t need a special license, but the business behind it follows the same Montana rules as any other.

• The Montana Consumer Data Privacy Act rarely reaches a local business: Businesses doing business in Montana or targeting Montana residents that control or process the personal data of not less than 25,000 consumers (excluding data processed solely to complete a payment transaction), or of not less than 15,000 consumers while deriving more than 25% of gross revenue from selling personal data. The 2025 amendment LOWERED these thresholds (they were 50,000 and 25,000 before). Montana’s 25,000-consumer threshold is now among the lowest in the country, and Montana’s population is small, so a business with a real Montana customer base should check. Three sections (30-14-2811, 30-14-2818 and 30-14-2819 — the minor/teen provisions) apply to ANY business targeting Montana residents, with no threshold at all. Mont. Code Ann. Title 30, chapter 14, part 28 (SB 384, 2023; amended by Ch. 567, L. 2025 / SB 297)
