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 licensed CCRCs to sell alcohol at multiple service locations on their campus, including outdoor areas and separate buildings, as long as these locations are controlled by the licensee and include food service. Additionally, the bill permits the delivery of alcohol to residents' individual living units, provided that the purchaser is verified as a current resident. The bill also clarifies definitions related to CCRCs, including what constitutes a campus and the types of care provided.

Key amendments include the insertion of provisions that allow for the sale of alcoholic beverages at multiple locations within a CCRC campus and the delivery of alcohol to residents' living units. The bill also removes previous language that limited the licensing to a single campus and establishes that each license must be approved for only one campus. Furthermore, it mandates that employees involved in the sale and service of alcohol complete training to ensure compliance with state laws. The effective date for these changes is set for July 1, 2025.
