MT Code § 27-1-741 (2013) What's This?

27-1-741. Purpose. The legislature finds that: (1) amusement rides are used by a large number of Montana's citizens and attract a large number of nonresidents, significantly contributing to Montana's tourism industry and tax base; (2) the safety of the public using amusement rides is an important matter of public policy; (3) there are inherent risks associated with the machinery, equipment, or animals that are impracticable or impossible for an amusement ride owner or operator to eliminate with all reasonable safety precautions; (4) an informed patron is in the best position to avoid risks inherent to amusement rides; and (5) the safety of amusement rides will be greatly improved at minimal cost if riders are subject to minimum safety standards for their own protection and the protection of others.
