The bill aims to revise alcohol laws in Montana by prohibiting certain military and veterans' organizations from offering gambling activities. Specifically, it targets enlisted persons', noncommissioned officers', or officers' clubs located on state or federal military reservations, as well as posts of nationally chartered veterans' organizations and recognized national fraternal organizations. The bill amends Section 23-5-119 of the Montana Code Annotated (MCA) to clarify that licenses issued under specific provisions after the effective date of the act will not be eligible to offer gambling activities.

Key amendments include the insertion of language that explicitly states that licenses issued under 16-4-201(8)(c) and 16-4-105(1)(e) after the effective date of the act may not offer gambling activities. The bill also establishes an immediate effective date upon passage and approval, ensuring that these changes take effect without delay.
