The bill amends Section 28-10-6 of the Code of Alabama 1975 to enhance the Responsible Vendor Program by establishing a passing grade of 70 percent for vendor employees who complete training on alcoholic beverage laws and related subjects. It introduces provisions for online training and testing, requiring the Alcoholic Beverage Control Board to adopt rules for this format within 120 days of the bill's enactment. If the board fails to implement these rules by the deadline, it will lose the authority to operate any liquor stores.

Additionally, the bill makes several technical revisions to update the existing code language. Key changes include the clarification of training requirements, the allowance for digital record-keeping of employee training, and the removal of the necessity for in-person testing administrators. The bill aims to streamline the training process while ensuring that employees are adequately prepared to handle the sale of alcoholic beverages responsibly.
