July 1st Deadline for Basset Training in Certain Counties
As
you may recall P.A. 99-46 (approved in 2015) required alcohol servers and ID checkers in liquor
establishments to be Basset-trained. The Act phased in the training
requirement by county population. Servers in counties with a population
over 200,000 were required to comply with the Act by July 1, 2016. Servers in counties between the population of 30,000 and 200,000 must be in
compliance with the Basset training requirement by July 1, 2017. The
balance of the state has a July 1, 2018 deadline to implement Basset training.
The
State Liquor Commission website has a list of locations where training is
provided on a monthly basis. Other locations may be scheduled for
training events from time to time. You can find more information here:
It
is incumbent on licensees to make sure their servers and ID-checkers are Basset
certified. Failure to do so may result in enforcement action taken
against the licensee. New servers have 120 days to complete their Basset training. Servers must renew their training every three
years. Licensees will want to obtain a copy of the Basset training card
for all of their servers in the event the state or the local commissioners
audits the licensee.
Local
Liquor Commissioners will want to inform liquor licensees of this training
requirement. Municipalities may consider adding the Basset training to
their local liquor ordinance.
