HSB 631

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. 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.
