A BILL TO BE ENTITLED
AN ACT
relating to alcoholic beverage seller training programs.
BE IT ENACTED BY THE LEGISLATURE OF THE STATE OF TEXAS:
SECTION 1. Section 106.14, Alcoholic Beverage Code, is
amended by adding Subsection (e) to read as follows:
(e) After notice and hearing, the commission may cancel or
suspend the commission's approval of a seller training program, the
commission's certification of a trainer to teach a seller training
program, or the commission's certification of an employee's
completion of a seller training program if the program, trainer, or
employee violates this code or a commission rule. The commission
may give a program, trainer, or employee the opportunity to pay a
civil penalty rather than be subject to suspension under this
subsection. Sections 11.62 through 11.67 apply to the program
approval or certification as if the program approval or
certification were a license or permit under this code.
SECTION 2. This Act takes effect immediately if it receives
a vote of two-thirds of all the members elected to each house, as
provided by Section 39, Article III, Texas Constitution. If this
Act does not receive the vote necessary for immediate effect, this
Act takes effect September 1, 2011.
