Bill > HB176

This bill amends Sections 28-1-5 and 28-3A-25 of the Code of Alabama 1975 to allow individuals between the ages of 18 and 20 to serve alcoholic beverages as employees of restaurant licensees, provided certain conditions are met, such as the employee working as a server or busser and the restaurant being certified as a responsible vendor under the Alabama Responsible Vendor Act. The bill also allows individuals under 21 years of age who are employed by a wholesale or off-premises retail licensee to handle, transport, or sell alcoholic beverages, as long as they are working within the scope of their employment. Additionally, the bill outlines penalties for licensees who require employees under 21 to handle, transport, serve, or dispense alcoholic beverages in violation of the law.
