Alcohol Awareness for Special "One-Day" Licenses and Promoters Permits effective as of January 1, 2023. Each Licensed event shall have 100% employees/volunteers serving or selling alcohol complete an Alcohol Awareness training program. The certified person(s) must be on the premises at all times the event is serving or selling alcoholic beverages. An up-to-date valid certificate shall be kept on site and presented to proper authority upon request.
ALCOHOL AWARENESS CHANGES - Full-Time Licenses
The Board has adopted a new Alcohol Awareness regulation that requires 50% of ON DUTY employees that are SELLING or SERVING alcohol must complete Alcohol Awareness training. For example, if you have 7 employees on shift and 3 are working in the kitchen and 4 are selling/serving alcohol, then 2 employees must be Alcohol Awareness Certified. We understand this process could take time; therefore, the Board is allowing a 6-month phase in period. For more information see regulation §6.0-Alcohol Awareness Program
**PLEASE NOTE**ONLINE Alcohol Awareness training classes are NOT recognized in the State of Maryland IF THE EXAM IS NOT PROCTORED IN PERSON with a certified trainer**
