SHERMAN, Texas, April 5, 2022 /PRNewswire/ -- The California legislature passed Assembly Bill 1221 in 2017 creating the Responsible Beverage Service Training Act which required the state's Alcoholic Beverage Control to create the Responsible Beverage Service Training Program (RBSTP). The goal was to ensure servers of alcoholic beverages, and their managers, 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 original mandate created a new training requirement for the state's estimated 1,000,000 on-premises alcohol servers, their managers, and licensees beginning in 2021, but to alleviate the financial strain on the hospitality industry caused by the COVID-19 state of emergency, the legislature extended the deadline into 2022.

Key Points: 
  • Fortunately, getting the required training is convenient and affordable through Seller Server Classes' California state-approved online training course.
  • And to date it is the only state-approved Responsible Beverage Service training course that is also available in Spanish!
  • The alcohol server certification number is recorded on the Alcohol Server's Dashboard in the training history at the bottom of the page of the RBS Portal.
  • Licensees will be able to verify that their servers are RBS certified using the certification number and the server's name.
