The Department of Revenue recently announced the formation of the Alcohol Licensing Advisory Committee (ALAC).
Facilitated by the Alcoholic Beverage Control Division (ABCD) Administrator, the working group is comprised of stakeholders spanning all levels of the three-tier system as well as representation from the Gambling Control Division (GCD).
The working group’s scope is to engage stakeholders to provide feedback on the various aspects of alcohol licensing and to evaluate potential improvements to the process.
The group’s goals will be to:
- ensure alcohol licensing is as efficient as possible for applicants/licensees
- maintain the necessary checks and balances and to improve the internal processes between the Department of Revenue and the Department of Justice
All ALAC working group meetings will be held quarterly in person for committee members with possible rotating locations. Zoom capability will be available for those unable to attend in person.
The department encourages public participation to be via Zoom due to space and technological demands. There will be group discussions on specific topics.
Meetings and Committee Membership
The Alcohol Licensing Advisory Committee is no longer having regular meetings. If anyone has suggestions for improvements or efficiencies to the alcohol licensing process, please reach out to Becky Schlauch at Becky.Schlauch@mt.gov.
