(A) All persons employed in the selling and serving of alcoholic beverages shall participate in and complete a city-approved responsible beverage service training program, such as the Server Training in Alcohol Regulations (“S.T.A.R.”) training offered by the Commonwealth of Kentucky, Alcoholic Beverage Control Office. For a responsible beverage service training program to be approved by the city, it must effectively train its participants in the identification of false age documents and recognition of characteristics of intoxication. The city will not require enrollment in any particular classes, but only that the training be obtained from a recognized program meeting the goals expressed in this section.
(B) All persons required to complete training under division (A), above, shall complete such training within 30 days of the date on which the person first becomes subject to the training requirement. When a new business is licensed to serve alcoholic beverages, all employees must be trained prior to the opening of the business.
(C) The licensee or the managing agent of the licensee shall be responsible for compliance with the training requirements set forth in this section and shall maintain for inspection by the City ABC Administrator a record or file on each employee that shall contain the pertinent training information. Each premise licensed under this chapter must at all times when alcoholic beverages are being served have at least one person currently certified in responsible beverage service training on duty.
(D) All persons completing the training required under this section shall be re-certified in responsible beverage service training from a program approved by the city not less than once every three years thereafter.
