1995 Senate BILL 218

May 23, 1995 - Introduced by Senators Petak, Plewa, Buettner and Darling, cosponsored by Representatives Ryba and Jensen. Referred to Committee on Business, Economic Development and Urban Affairs.

SB218,1,3 An Act to amend 125.04 (5) (c) of the statutes; relating to: the requirement that an agent of a corporation or limited liability company have completed an alcohol beverage server training course.

Analysis by the Legislative Reference Bureau

Under current law, a corporation or limited liability company (corporation) is not eligible for a license to sell alcohol beverages unless, among other requirements, the corporation appoints an agent who is given full authority and control over the licensed premises and over all commercial activities on the premises relating to alcohol beverages. A person may not be appointed as an agent unless that person, among other requirements, successfully completes an approved responsible server beverage training course within 2 years before the date the corporation applies for a license. Under this bill, this requirement does not apply to a person who has, within 2 years before the date the corporation applies for a license, served as the appointed agent of a corporation holding a license to sell alcohol beverages.
