  • Licensed establishments may claim an affirmative defense against liability for employee violations (selling to minors, intoxicated persons, or mentally deficient persons) if they required valid ABLE employee licenses, seller-server training certificates within 14 days of hire with renewal every 2 years, and written policies with signed employee acknowledgments

  • Establishments must submit an affidavit to the ABLE Commission within 10 days of receiving a violation notice, including copies of the employee's license, training certificate, and signed policy acknowledgment

  • Employee actions are automatically attributed to the establishment if the employee lacks a valid ABLE Commission license

  • Three or more violations of the same type within 12 months creates a rebuttable presumption that the establishment indirectly encouraged law violations, shifting the burden of proof to the establishment
