Montana HB123 revises alcohol laws, allowing self-service of beer and wine under certain conditions.

Montana HB123 modifies alcohol laws to allow self-service of beer and wine under specific conditions. It permits self-pouring from electronic devices or technology-based devices if monitored by the licensee or employees. It exempts certain activities from the term "self-service" and requires supervision by the licensee. The bill also allows licensed retailers to apply for noncontiguous storage areas and permits on-premises consumption retailers to be located adjacent to breweries or wineries with adequate physical separation.
