This bill revises existing laws in Montana concerning digital identification, particularly 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.

Additionally, the bill classifies government-certified digital identification cards as a prohibited form of fraudulent identification. This change is reflected in the amendments to Section 16-6-305, which now includes digital identification cards alongside other forms of identification that may be misrepresented. The overall intent of the bill is to enhance the regulatory framework surrounding the sale of alcoholic beverages and to adapt to the evolving landscape of identification technology.
