Cost

Montana's alcohol licensing laws require businesses to provide training for their employees to allow them to dispense alcohol. This training is required for any employee, including immediate supervisors, who will be serving alcohol. Montana is not a stranger to alcohol-related crashes. In fact, there were 932 deaths in drunk driving crashes between 2003 and 2012. Although Montana doesn't have densely populated areas, the number of drunk driving accidents in Montana is three-fold higher than the national standard and is the second highest in America.


It is crucial to understand that Montana law requires anyone serving alcohol in Montana to have received training through a state-approved program. The state Department of Revenue recommends that employees avoid practices such as stacking drinks and offering two-for-one specials. A standard drink with one ounce of alcohol will take an average adult two hours to process.

Enforcement

Montana's legislature is looking at a bill that would allow for alcohol certification to be passed in order to curb underage drinking. SB 129 would change the penalties to be found in violation of alcohol sales laws. The measure would allow a liquor license to be revoked for four violations within three years. Businesses that don't follow the laws can also face a possible fine.
