If you have questions about how these new regulations may impact you, we recommend that you contact your municipal attorney or one of Tressler’s government attorneys. If your municipality extends both to Cook County and another county, then it may be advisable to enact a local ordinance to establish uniform certification regulations throughout the municipality. These new regulations apply only to Cook County. Prior to that time, enforcement of the new regulations will be limited to education, training, and notification of new regulations in order to encourage future compliance. However, the state will not enforce monetary penalties until January 1, 2016. On that date, all Cook County alcohol servers will be required to possess a BASSET training certificate. The new regulations take effect July 1, 2015. The Illinois Liquor Control Commission is encouraging interested parties to sign-up early for these classes, as they expect each class to be at or near capacity.

The state has established free BASSET certification courses throughout Cook County. Proof that an alcohol server has been trained must be available upon reasonable request by state law enforcement officials.
A certificate of training belongs to the server, and a server may transfer it to a different employer, but shall not transfer it to another server. Servers (as defined) must complete a state approved BASSET training course and receive a certificate.
The Act excludes distributors who conduct tastings, volunteers distributing alcohol at charitable events, and instructors engaged in training on proper techniques for alcohol dispensing systems. This definition includes all bartenders, servers, and bouncers who distribute alcohol or check identification in Cook County bars and restaurants. Section 6-27.1 of the Act defines “alcohol servers” as “persons whose job description entails the checking of identification for the purchase of open containers of alcoholic beverages at retail or for entry into the licensed premises.” 235 ILCS 5/6-27.1(a). Servers, Bartenders and Bouncers in Cook County Must Have the Training Public Act 098-939 amends the Liquor Control Act (the “Act”) to add Section 6-27.1, which requires all alcohol servers in Cook County to receive Beverage Alcohol Sellers/Servers Education & Training (BASSET) certification by July 1, 2015, or within 120 days of their employment, whichever is later. New training regulations for alcohol servers take effect on July 1, 2015.
