MONTANA PRE-APPROVES TIPS FOR REDUCED MITIGATION PROGRAM
The Montana Department of Revenue, Liquor Control Division, has pre-approved TIPS as a provider under its proposed reduced mitigation program for alcohol retailers in Montana.

Under this proposal, establishments with violations would receive a reduced, or mitigated, fine or suspension if their employees have been trained by an approved provider.

Classroom programs approved are On Premise, Off Premise, Concessions, and Gaming. We are awaiting word on our eTIPS programs.

The proposed regulation has not yet been adopted, but we expect that to happen this spring.

For additional information please contact the TIPS Government Relations Department.
