What’s in it

AI summary Stores can avoid certain penalties if their employees accidentally sell alcohol to minors after completing a training program. Currently, this exception only applies to a specific state training program. This bill expands that rule to include employees who have completed any nationally recognized alcohol service training within the last two years.1

The official explanation

This bill relates to an exception to the penalty for supplying an alcoholic beverage to a person between and years of age.50A at the time of the violation, and if the violation involves selling, giving, or otherwise supplying any alcoholic beverage to a person between and years of age.50A is valid for two years or until the holder commits a violation. The bill expands this exception to include an employee who holds a valid certificate of completion of a nationally recognized responsible alcohol service program completed through in-person or online training in the two years prior to the violation.

Read the full explanation

Current law limits a licensee to asserting the exception only once in a four-year period for violations that take place at the same place of business location.
