This bill aims to revise existing alcohol license laws specifically for manufacturers and retailers. It introduces a limited exception that allows licensed brewers, distillers, and wineries to hold retail licenses, as well as permitting retail licensees to obtain a brewer, distiller, or winery license. The bill also outlines certain limitations and provides definitions relevant to these changes.

Additionally, the bill amends multiple sections of the Montana Code Annotated (MCA), including sections 16-3-213, 16-3-214, 16-3-241, 16-3-242, 16-3-244, 16-3-311, 16-3-411, 16-4-105, 16-4-201, 16-4-311, 16-4-401, and 16-4-420. These amendments are intended to clarify and update the legal framework governing alcohol licensing in the state. The bill will take effect upon passage.
