Dixon Bill Seeks Limited Montana Homestead Lands
Senate bill to amend homestead laws in Montana limits new entries to 640 acres, with compact shapes and irrigation exclusions. It allows existing settlers west of the 100th meridian to add contiguous land up to 640 acres, with a five year wait for final entry and a 30 day priority period for eligible homesteaders. It enforces irrigation withdrawals and ties to the national irrigation law, with uniform fees and restored entry rules.
