Alabama Responsible Vendor Act
Alabama · Intoxicating Liquor, Malt Beverages and Wine · §§ 28-10-1 to 28-10-8 · 8 sections
Overview
The act sets up a responsible vendor program for licensed vendors, defining the standards a vendor must meet to become certified and the process for showing evidence of compliance, obtaining certification, and renewing it. It gives the administering agency authority to adopt implementing rules, to staff enforcement, and provides for a related fee. The incentive for participation is regulatory: a certified vendor's compliance operates as a defense against suspension or revocation of its license and as a basis for mitigating administrative penalties or fines.
