HELENA â Montana lawmakers are considering a bill that would limit when a business can be cited for failing an alcohol compliance check, or âsting.â
The Senate Business, Labor and Economic Affairs Committee held a hearing Wednesday on Senate Bill 129, sponsored by Sen. Greg Hertz, a Republican from Polson.
The bill deals with âcontrived events,â in which a law enforcement agency or other organization sends an underage person into a store, bar, or other business to attempt to buy alcohol.
