The bill aims to revise laws related to digital identification, specifically in the context of alcohol server and sales training. It mandates that training programs certified by the department must now include procedures for checking government-certified digital identification cards. This addition is intended to ensure that servers and sellers are equipped to handle digital forms of identification appropriately.
Additionally, the bill includes provisions that classify government-certified digital identification cards as a prohibited form of fraudulent identification. This means that misrepresenting one's age using such digital IDs will be treated similarly to other forms of fraudulent identification. The amendments to Sections 16-4-1006 and 16-6-305 of the Montana Code Annotated reflect these changes, enhancing the legal framework surrounding the sale and provision of alcoholic beverages to underage individuals.
