Include digital identifications in alcohol, tobacco, and marijuana laws
This bill updates Montana's laws to officially recognize digital versions of government or tribal-issued identification for age verification when purchasing alcohol, tobacco, and marijuana products. It requires businesses that scan digital IDs to use the data only for age determination, prohibit sharing that information with others, and delete the scan data within 180 days. The legislation also establishes specific licensing types for marijuana operations and sets time limits for the state department to review and approve or deny license applications, with fee reductions if the department delays processing.
