Yes, it was Senate Bill 318. Here's a blurb from the Montana Pilots
Assoc website. The Governor signed the bill inot law on April 30th.

It appears that it was the Recreational Aviation Foundation that
conceived the idea:

MONTANA PRIVATE AIRPORTS GET PROTECTION FROM NEW STATE LAW !

In April of 2007 Montana Governor Brian Schweitzer signed into law
Senate Bill 318. This new law provides a measure of protection for
private airstrip owners who don't charge the public to use their
airstrips for recreational purposes. They are now protected by a
limited liability law, created by Senate Bill 318. The law adds
landowners of airstrips for "private, noncommercial flying" to the
protections under the state's recreational use statute.

This bill was the brainchild of RAF Director Chuck Jarecki who
orchestrated a major effort with primary support from the Montana
Pilots Association to get the bill sponsored and introduced into
the legislature and then to rally the troops to campaign for its
approval. A big “Thank You” goes to Chuck and all the members of
the MPA who participated in pushing this bill through the Montana
legislature. A job well done!


I wonder if AOPA could get something similar implemented nationwide.
