The program shall be entitled "The Responsible Permittee Program".

A permittee who seeks to qualify under the Responsible Permittee Program must provide to the Board evidence of compliance with the requirements of this Regulation. Upon satisfactory proof that the permittee or his employees have complied with the requirements, the Board shall certify the permittee under the Responsible Permittee Program. Certification as a responsible permittee shall be renewed annually. The Board may revoke or suspend a permittee's certification for non-compliance with this Regulation.

In order to qualify for certification, the permittee shall comply with the following requirements:

(1) Attend a course of instruction approved and certified by the Board which shall include subjects dealing with alcoholic

beverages as follows:

A. Education on the dangers of drinking and driving;

B. State laws regarding the sale of alcoholic beverages for on premises consumption or for off premises consumption, or both;

C. Methods of recognizing and dealing with underage customers;

D. The development of specific procedures for refusing to sell alcoholic beverages to underage customers; for assisting
employees in dealing with underage customers; for dealing with intoxicated customers; and

E. Such other matters as may be deemed appropriate and approved by the Alcoholic Beverage Control Board.

(2) Require each employee who is authorized to sell alcoholic beverages in the normal course of his or her employment to

complete the responsible permittee training course set out in Subsection (1) of this Section within thirty (30) days
of commencing employment; and
