  Is RBS training mandatory and do I need a certificate to serve alcohol in California?

  RBS training under the requirements of CA Assembly Bill 1221 will become mandatory on July 1, 2022. The implementations date was modified by Assembly Bill 82. This new state mandate will require on-premises alcoholic beverage servers and their managers to successfully complete an ABC approved RBS training program and exam no later than August 31, 2022.

  What is the RBS Training Program?

  Passage of Assembly Bill 1221 in 2017 created the Responsible Beverage Service Training Act.  The bill required the Alcoholic Beverage Control to create the Responsible Beverage Service Training Program to ensure servers and their managers of alcoholic beverages are educated on the dangers of serving alcohol to minors and over-serving alcohol to patrons with the intention of reducing alcohol related harm to local communities. The new mandate creates a new training requirement for an estimated 1,000,000 on-premises alcohol servers, their managers, and licensees beginning in 2022. ​
   ​
  Beginning September 1, 2022, any alcohol server and their manager must have a valid RBS certification from an ABC accredited RBS training provider and pass an online ABC administered RBS exam.

  Who Must be Trained Under AB 1221?

  Beginning in July 2022, any ABC licensee who has an “ABC On-Premises License” will need to have their staff (alcohol servers and managers of alcohol servers) trained and certified in RBS within sixty (60) days of the date of initial employment. This includes but is not limited to restaurants, bars, fast casual dining, tasting rooms (including off-sale locations), hotels, and stadiums.

  RBS certification means that the alcohol server has successfully completed training by an ABC approved training provider and passed the alcohol server certification exam (hosted by ABC). Once the server has successfully completed the training and exam, their certification is valid for 3 years.

  The alcohol server certification must be renewed prior to its expiration to remain valid. “ABC On-Premises License” means an ABC license that grants the privilege to serve alcoholic beverages to customers who then consume them on the licensed premises.

  The following license types have On-Premises privileges: Type 1, 2, 3, 4, 23, 40, 41, 42, 43, 44, 45, 46, 47, 48, 49, 50, 51, 52, 53, 54, 55, 56, 57, 58, 59, 60, 61, 62, 63, 64, 65, 66, 67, 68, 69, 70, 71, 72, 73, 74, 75, 76, 77, 78, 80, 83, 86, 87, 88, 99.

  Does AB 1221 apply to entities obtaining daily licenses?

  For events under a daily license, at least one person working the event is required to be RBS trained and certified. The person(s) identified on the one-day application as being RBS trained and certified must remain on-site during the duration of the event.

  Additionally, the RBS trained and certified person(s) must actively monitor the service of alcoholic beverages to guests at the event and have created policies for the event that mandate and foster responsible alcoholic beverage service.

  What is the definition of an alcohol server under AB 1221?

  An alcohol server, as defined under AB 1221 includes anyone who does any of the following:

  • Checks customer identification for purposes of alcoholic beverage service or entry to an ABC on-premises licensed establishment,
  • Takes customer alcoholic beverage orders,
  • Pours alcoholic beverages for customers, or
  • Delivers alcoholic beverages to customers.

  What is the definition of an alcohol manager under AB 1221?

  A manager means any person who trains, hires, or oversees alcohol servers at an ABC on-premises licensed establishment, or any person who makes policy or operational decisions about how alcohol service is performed at an ABC on-premises licensed establishment, including but not limited to; when to check identification and when to refuse service to a customer.

  Important Dates to Remember

  As an ABC On-Premises Licensee, what are the important dates that I need to know to be in compliance with the new law?

  ABC approved RBS training and certification will be mandatory for alcohol servers and their managers beginning July 1, 2022.

  ABC On-Premises Licensees have sixty (60) days from July 1, 2022 to have their staff trained and certified by an approved RBS training provider. This includes the successful completion of an ABC administered RBS exam.

  Enforcement of AB 1221 will begin September 1, 2022.

  Mission of The Responsible Beverage Service Training Program

• Tobacco Retailer Training for Store Personnel

  Tobacco Retailer Training for Store Personnel

  Course Fee: $3.95

  Enroll Now

  The FDA regulates all tobacco products, including e-cigarettes, hookah tobacco, and cigars. If you sell tobacco products, you must comply with all applicable federal laws and regulations for retailers. This course provides a summary of the federal rules relating to those selling tobacco and tobacco products in a retail store.

  This course will teach you how to check the ID of a customer who wants to buy tobacco products, shows things to look out for, such as fake ID cards and signs of ID tampering, and explains how and when to refuse a sale.

  The course also describes the current federal laws for selling tobacco. Please note the legal sales age has changed in many states from 18 to 21. As of October 2019, these states include: Arkansas, California, Connecticut, Delaware, Hawaii, Illinois, Maine, Maryland, Massachusetts, New Jersey, New York, Oregon, Texas, Utah, Vermont, Virginia and Washington.

  This course will take approximately 20 minutes to complete.

  The Family Smoking Prevention and Tobacco Control Act (Tobacco Control Act) does not require retailers to implement retailer training programs for those who sell tobacco products. However, the statute does provide for lower civil money penalties for violations of access, sale, and distribution restrictions, advertising and promotion restrictions, and required warning statements promulgated under section 906(d) of the Federal Food, Drug, and Cosmetic Act (FD&C Act), as amended by the Tobacco Control Act, for retailers who have implemented a training program that complies with standards developed by FDA for such programs. FDA intends to promulgate regulations establishing standards for approved retailer training programs. In the interim, however, for retailers who wish to implement training programs, this guidance document explains:

  • Recommendations for elements to be included in a retailer training program;
  • Recommended hiring and management practices;
  • The civil money penalties that may be assessed against retailers for violations of restrictions promulgated under section 906(d) of the FD&C Act, as amended by the Tobacco Control Act; and
  • How the penalty structure differs for retailers with and without approved training programs.

  FDA’s guidance documents, including this guidance, do not establish legally enforceable responsibilities. Instead, guidances describe the Agency’s current thinking on a topic and should be viewed only as recommendations, unless specific regulatory or statutory requirements are cited. The use of the word should in Agency guidances means that something is suggested or recommended, but not required.

  This course meets the training requirements as set by The Family Smoking Prevention and Tobacco Control Act (Tobacco Control Act) - those who successfully complete this training may provide for lower civil money penalties for violations of received. As always, it is your responsibility to know and abide by local and federal laws, rules and regulations with regard to the sale of tobacco and tobacco products.
