The bill revises alcohol laws concerning the Responsible Server and Sales Training Program in Montana. It mandates the certification of two distinct training programs based on the employment setting of the server: one for employees at licensed locations that allow on-premises alcohol consumption, and another for employees at locations that only permit off-premises consumption. The training program for off-premises consumption must be completed in at least half the time required for the on-premises program.

Additionally, the bill amends Section 16-4-1006 of the Montana Code Annotated (MCA) to specify the requirements for these training programs, which include topics such as the effects of alcohol, identification checking procedures, and handling difficult situations. The bill also establishes a delayed effective date of January 1, 2026, for its implementation.
