This bill revises existing laws in Montana concerning digital identification, specifically in relation to 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 aims to ensure that servers and sellers are adequately prepared to handle digital forms of identification, which are becoming increasingly common.

Furthermore, the bill establishes that digital identification cards are considered a prohibited form of fraudulent identification. It amends Section 16-6-305 to include government-certified digital identification cards in the list of identification types that cannot be fraudulently misrepresented or altered. These changes are intended to enhance the integrity of age verification processes in the sale of alcoholic beverages and to ensure compliance with legal standards regarding identification.
