Bill Summary

An Act To Amend Title 4 Of The Delaware Code Relating To Bartending.

AI Summary

This bill amends Delaware's laws regarding the employment of individuals in establishments that serve alcohol, specifically addressing age restrictions for preparation, sale, and service. It clarifies that individuals must be 18 years or older to prepare, sell, or serve alcoholic beverages, with those aged 18-20 requiring direct supervision by someone 21 or older when preparing drinks. The bill also introduces new restrictions for individuals under 21, prohibiting them from working in taverns or taprooms that feature sexually oriented entertainment, including those licensed as adult entertainment establishments or those advertising as "strip clubs" or "gentlemen's clubs." Additionally, the bill reduces the validity period for responsible alcoholic beverage server training and certification from four years to two years, meaning individuals will need to undergo renewal training more frequently.
