The bill aims to revise alcohol laws in Montana by prohibiting enlisted persons', noncommissioned officers', or officers' clubs located on state or federal military reservations, as well as posts of nationally chartered veterans' organizations and lodges of recognized national fraternal organizations, from offering gambling activities as outlined in Title 23, Chapter 5, Parts 3, 5, or 6. This change is intended to ensure that these specific establishments do not engage in gambling, thereby maintaining a clear distinction between alcohol service and gambling activities in these contexts.

Additionally, the bill amends Section 23-5-119 of the Montana Code Annotated (MCA) to specify 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. This amendment reinforces the prohibition on gambling for certain types of licenses, further clarifying the eligibility criteria for establishments wishing to engage in gambling under the specified title and chapters. The act is set to take effect immediately upon passage and approval.
