RBS Training Regulation Effect on Liquor Liability in California

Friday, September 23, 2022

BOCA RATON, Fla., Sept. 23, 2022 /PRNewswire/ -- On August 31, 2022, the extension of the grace period for the new Responsible Beverage Service Training (RBST) to be completed in California ended. The foundations of the RBST training require all staff members who sell and serve alcohol to be certified by the state. A recent California Alcoholic Beverage Control (ABC) press release reports show that 25% of servers have successfully registered through the Responsible Beverage Service (RBS) portal, completed the training through a state-approved provider (such as Serving Alcohol), and subsequently passed the state exam. With an estimated 75% of servers still not certified, businesses are asking what the risks of non-compliance are. It's not just you wondering as our staff is fielding questions on this subject daily. Ultimately, if your business is not in compliance, we believe this may create liability, insurance, and financial risks, so the following is our synopsis.

Key Points: 
  • As of now, anyone who meets the definition of an alcohol server or alcohol manager must attend training through a state-approved provider.
  • Under civil liability in California, a server may be held liable for damages and injuries related to an intoxicated person.
  • Under administrative liability, staff lacking proper training could be interpreted as endangering the public welfare and morals by state authorities.
  • For example, an underwriter may increase liability coverage simply because a business creates undue risk when staff has not received mandatory training.
