§ 112.27 TRAINING PROGRAM.
   Training is required as specified below:
   (A)   For licenses effective on or after January 1, 2008, the original or renewal application for any Class A, D, D-1, E, F and V license shall be accompanied with proof of completion of a Police Department approved Beverage Alcohol Sellers and Servers Education and Training Program (BASSET) by all bartenders employed by the licensee.
   (B)   All bartenders shall, prior to serving or selling any alcoholic liquor within the village, register for and satisfactorily complete a police department approved BASSET course. The course shall be completed no later than within 60 days of employment with the licensee but shall be completed at the earliest opportunity after hiring (i.e., at the earliest opportunity the BASSET is provided by the village). Registration of employees is the responsibility of the licensee.
   (C)   After October 1, 1997, all bartenders shall, within 60 days from the beginning of their employment with that licensee, satisfactorily complete a police department approved BASSET program, and shall, until satisfactory completion of the BASSET program, work under the supervision of a person who has satisfactorily completed the BASSET program. At the effective date of this section all currently employed bartenders have 60 days to complete a BASSET program.
   (D)   A photocopy of the certificate of completion of the BASSET program will be on file with the village Police Department BASSET coordinator and maintained in the manager's office on the premises of the licensee.
   (E)   BASSET completion cards are to be carried and exhibited on demand. Every bartender who has successfully completed the BASSET training program shall have his/her BASSET completion card in his/her immediate possession at all times when serving alcoholic liquor within the village and, for the purpose of indicating compliance with this requirement, shall display his/her BASSET completion card upon demand made by a village police officer or the Village President or his/her designee.
   (F)   The Village President, as liquor commissioner, of the village may, in his/her discretion, extend the time for completion of the training, for renewal of licenses only, for an additional 60-day period through and until March 1, 2008. Such extensions shall be given on a case-by-case basis for good cause shown. Requests for such an extension must be in writing and presented to the Village President a minimum of 30 days prior to the implementation deadline.
   (G)   Bartenders of liquor license establishments that are of a "temporary status" (Christmas, summer help, etc.) whose employment does not extend past 60 days from the date of original employment are not required to complete the training program but must, for the duration of their employment, work at all times under the immediate supervision of a person who has completed the BASSET program. Proof of the employment hiring date of the bartender is to be exhibited upon demand of a village police officer or other agent authorized by the Village President as Liquor Commissioner. "Temporary status" bartenders must also contact the village police department to advise it of the name, establishment, and hiring date prior to bartending within the village. Responsibility for registration of all "temporary status" employees rests with the village.
