This bill aims to revise various aspects of alcoholic beverage laws, particularly focusing on public convenience and necessity considerations. It specifies that these considerations will be limited solely to the alcoholic beverage in question, thereby streamlining the evaluation process for licensing. Additionally, the bill addresses the Department of Revenue's requests for additional licensing information and makes revisions related to table wine, resort area licenses, and special permits.

The bill amends several sections of the Montana Code Annotated (MCA), specifically sections 16-3-103, 16-4-203, 16-4-212, 16-4-213, 16-4-207, and 16-4-301. These amendments are intended to clarify and update the existing laws governing the sale and distribution of alcoholic beverages, ensuring that they align with current practices and regulatory needs.
