Montana Business Entity Law Changes for 2025–2026: Legislative and Case Law Summary

By Eric Geringswald | CSC

Overview of Legislative Changes

Montana lawmakers approved changes to more than 90 sections of the state’s business law during the 2025 legislative session. These are captured in the 2025-2026 edition of CSC Publishing’s Montana Laws Governing Business Entities Annotated.

This edition features relevant chapters from Title 35—Corporations, Partnerships and Associations from the LexisNexis Montana Code Annotated, as well as related sections covering civil procedure, trade name registration and taxation, and selected chapters from the Uniform Commercial Code regarding investment securities secured transactions, and controllable electronic records, such as NFTs and cryptocurrencies.

The Table of Sections Affected lists added and amended statutes.

The book is annotated with the latest case notes from state and federal courts interpreting the law. Other features include a Fee Schedule showing the Secretary of State’s required filing fees and online access to more than 50 Montana forms for incorporation/ formation, qualification, mergers, dissolution, and name reservation for all entity types via the LexisNexis Bookstore download center. A list of forms and contact information for Montana’s Business and UCC Services can be found in the book’s appendix.

The book’s expansive index, sequential pagination, and page tabs make finding the information quicker and easier, while larger pages and a clean typeface enhance readability.

As with CSC’s other annotated statutory collections, Montana Laws Governing Business Entities Annotated is also available as an e-book and is part of the LexisNexis Digital Library.
