Montana HB315 revises alcohol laws for restaurant beer and wine licenses, adjusting income ratios, serving hours, and competitive bidding processes.
Montana HB315 revises the criteria for restaurant beer and wine licenses, requiring that at least 65% of a restaurant's gross income come from food sales. It also modifies the serving hours, allowing licensees to set their own hours between 8 a.m. and 11 p.m., subject to local ordinances. The bill introduces a competitive bidding process for issuing new licenses in certain quota areas and mandates that beer and wine be sold with food, with the price of alcohol not exceeding the price of the food.
