This bill revises laws related to continuing care retirement community (CCRC) licenses in Montana, specifically addressing the sale and delivery of alcoholic beverages. It allows CCRCs to obtain all-beverages licenses that permit the sale of alcohol at multiple service locations on their campus, including individual living units such as cottages or townhomes, provided that the purchaser is a verified resident. The bill also introduces provisions for the delivery of alcohol to residents' units, ensuring that the delivery personnel are trained and meet age requirements. Additionally, it clarifies that CCRCs can operate multiple licenses, each tied to a specific campus, and outlines the necessary conditions for these licenses.

Key amendments include the establishment of definitions for terms such as "campus" and "graduated level of care," as well as the requirements for serving alcohol in various settings within the CCRC. The bill specifies that alcohol service locations must include food service and be under the control of the licensee. It also mandates that employees involved in the sale and service of alcohol complete training to comply with state laws. The effective date for these changes is set for July 1, 2025.
