A BILL TO BE ENTITLED
|
|
|
AN ACT
|
|
|
relating to alcoholic beverage seller-servers and to seller |
|
|
training programs. |
|
|
BE IT ENACTED BY THE LEGISLATURE OF THE STATE OF TEXAS: |
|
|
SECTION 1. Section 106.14, Alcoholic Beverage Code, is |
|
|
amended by adding Subsection (e) to read as follows: |
|
|
(e) After notice and hearing, the commission may cancel or |
|
|
suspend the commission's approval of a seller training program, the |
|
|
commission's certification of a trainer to teach a seller training |
|
|
program, or the commission's certification of a seller-server if |
|
|
the program, trainer, or seller-server violates this code or a |
|
|
commission rule. The commission may give a program, trainer, or |
|
|
seller-server the opportunity to pay a civil penalty rather than be |
|
|
subject to suspension under this subsection. Sections 11.62 |
|
|
through 11.67 apply to the program approval or certification as if |
|
|
the program approval or certification were a license or permit |
|
|
under this code. |
|
|
SECTION 2. This Act takes effect immediately if it receives |
|
|
a vote of two-thirds of all the members elected to each house, as |
|
|
provided by Section 39, Article III, Texas Constitution. If this |
|
|
Act does not receive the vote necessary for immediate effect, this |
|
|
Act takes effect September 1, 2011. |
