Cal. Civ. Code § 37.111.130
37.111.130 GUEST REGISTRATION
Operative Text
(1) Each establishment must maintain a register of all overnight guests, including name and contact information of the guest and unit to which the guest was assigned. (2) Guest registration must be kept available for at least one year for communicable disease investigations or other public health reasons.
Mont. Admin. R. 37.111.130 requires lodging establishments in Montana to keep a written register of every overnight guest, capturing each guest's name, contact information, and assigned unit. This record must remain accessible for a minimum of one year and may be reviewed by public health authorities investigating communicable diseases or other health-related matters. The rule is designed to support contact tracing and public health response when needed.
Plain English — not legal advice.
Under Mont. Admin. R. 37.111.130, compliant operators collect and record the full name, contact information, and unit assignment for every overnight guest at the time of check-in. These registration records are retained and kept readily available for at least one year so they can be produced promptly if public health officials request them for a communicable disease investigation. Operators generally establish a consistent recordkeeping system—whether paper or digital—that ensures no guest entry is omitted and that older records are not discarded before the one-year period has elapsed.

Mont. Admin. R. 37.111.130 establishes that the establishment where you are staying is required to record your name, contact information, and room assignment as part of its guest register. This information may be shared with public health authorities for communicable disease investigations or similar public health purposes, so guests should be aware that their registration data is retained for at least one year. If you have concerns about how your information is being collected or used, tenant-rights organizations or Montana's public health agency can be resources for understanding what protections may apply.
General guidance for tenants — not legal advice for your specific situation. Consult a tenant-rights organization or attorney for advice on your case.
