Montana Lawmakers hear a bill that would shorten the training required to serve alcohol

The Montana House Business and Labor Committee heard testimony on a bill that would shorten the training required to serve alcohol to lessen the burden for trainers and trainees. Rep. Scot Kerns, R-Great Falls, sponsored House Bill 279 and said dropping training to two hours instead of three would give trainers plenty of time to learn required skills like how to properly ID and deny service to very inebriated customers.
