A. False Statements: It shall be a violation of this chapter for any licensee or any officer, associate, member, representative, agent, or employee of any licensee to make a false statement of fact to a police officer investigating an alleged violation of the state liquor control act or of this chapter.
B. BASSET Program: All licensees shall be required to have all employees who may, as part of their job, serve, sell, deliver, or distribute alcoholic liquor to a customer on the licensed premises, as well as anyone whose job includes checking identification cards of patrons to purchase alcohol or enter the premises, obtain a BASSET certification within one hundred twenty (120) days of being hired. At least one BASSET, TIPS, or equivalently trained employee shall be present at the licensed premises at all times when alcoholic beverages are being sold or served for consumption on the licensed premises. The BASSET certificate then belongs to the employee and is transferred with the employee to any new place of employment. A BASSET certificate is valid for three (3) years. These provisions do not apply to special event retailers, or distributors, volunteers serving alcohol at charitable functions, or instructors who are teaching the proper technique for using a system that dispenses alcohol. Each licensee shall supply the village with copies of the course completion certificate(s) for all employees who have successfully completed the BASSET program. A copy of the BASSET program completion certificate(s) shall also be made available at all times at the licensed premises for inspection by the village police department. Any licensee, person, firm, partnership, corporation, or limited liability company violating the provisions of this subsection shall be subject to the penalties set forth in this chapter.
C. Applicability Of Other Laws: All of the provisions, including all words and phrases, of the state liquor control act and the rules and regulations issued by the Illinois liquor control commission pertaining to local control of alcoholic liquor, as the same may be amended from time to time, are hereby incorporated into and declared to be a part of this chapter as if expressly set forth herein. Further, nothing in this chapter shall excuse or release any person from compliance with the requirements of any other applicable federal, state or local code, ordinance, regulation, or rule. (Ord.
