Does New York law require Alcohol Server Training?
Alcohol server training isn't required by state law, though the state government strongly recommends it.
However, many New York employers require training certified by the New York State Liquor Authority (NYSLA). That's because NYSLA will reduce penalties for your employer if you accidentally break the law while you have valid ATAP certification.
Under NY ABC § 65.6 & 65.7, training can be considered as an affirmative defense if:
- The employee who committed the liquor law violation holds a valid NYSLA-approved certificate of completion
- The employee has diligently implemented and complied with the training program
- The liquor license holder has had no violations in the past five years
Training can also reduce the penalty by 25% if the employee provides proof of training within 90 days after the penalty.
