This bill proposes revisions to the laws governing alcoholic beverages, specifically focusing on catering endorsements. It allows beer and wine licensees to obtain a catering endorsement without the requirement of being primarily engaged in the business of providing meals. Additionally, the bill stipulates that concessionaires are prohibited from sponsoring catered events.

The bill amends several sections of the Montana Code Annotated (MCA), specifically sections 16-1-106, 16-4-111, and 16-4-204, to reflect these changes. It is designed to streamline the process for beer and wine licensees to participate in catering while ensuring that concessionaires do not have a role in sponsoring these events. The bill is set to take effect immediately upon passage.
