House Bill No. introduced by K. Zolnikov aims to revise laws related to continuing care retirement community licenses in Montana. The bill allows for the delivery of alcohol to residents' individual living units within these communities, provided that the purchaser is verified as a current resident. It also permits the sale of alcoholic beverages at multiple service locations on the campus of a continuing care retirement community, as long as these locations include food service and are under the control of the licensee. The bill amends several sections of the Montana Code Annotated (MCA), specifically Sections 16-3-302, 16-4-315, and 16-4-1005, to incorporate these changes.

Key amendments include the introduction of provisions that allow for the delivery of alcohol to residents, the establishment of multiple service locations on campus, and the requirement for licensees to inform the department before making such deliveries. Additionally, the bill clarifies definitions related to continuing care retirement communities and their operational requirements, including the need for a central dining area and compliance with responsible server training. The effective date for these changes is set for July 1, 2025.
