Winnett up close: notes for a small business website

The county government of Petroleum County sits in Winnett; county business brings people into town every weekday. People who drive in from elsewhere in the county plan the trip in advance, often the night before. If you handle court, property or other county matters, list those services one by one, in plain words.

Paperwork and rules for Montana businesses online

A few rules apply to any Winnett business that sells or advertises online:

• 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)
