Bill > HB1890

This bill amends the Illinois Liquor Control Act to require responsible alcohol service training to include a new component: at least one hour of sexual assault prevention training. The bill applies to alcohol servers in various counties across Illinois, with different implementation deadlines based on county population size. An "alcohol server" is broadly defined to include people who sell or serve alcoholic beverages at retail, deliver mixed drinks, or check identification for alcohol purchases. The training must be comprehensive, covering specific topics outlined in administrative rules, and can be conducted through classroom or online formats. The training modules must be approved by the State Commission and must include interactive elements, testing, and be available in both English and Spanish. The bill aims to enhance server education by adding a specific focus on sexual assault prevention, which will help servers recognize and potentially prevent dangerous situations involving alcohol consumption. The training certificate belongs to the individual server and can be transferred between employers, but not between different servers.
