__________
[Originating in the Committee on the Judiciary]
Requesting the Joint Committee on Government and Finance study the
need for providing training to persons selling and serving
alcohol to the public.
Whereas, Service staff require education on recognizing
underage patrons, intoxication indicators and other commonly
encountered issues related to the selling and serving of alcohol;
and
Whereas, The failure to educate service staff may impose
liability on the retailers, bar and restaurant owners and employees
and endanger the public; and
Whereas, Much can be gained by bringing together knowledgeable
persons and agencies, including, but not limited to, the Alcohol
Beverage Control Commission, representatives of the retail industry
and representatives of the food and beverage industry; and
Whereas, The Legislature should explore the possibility of
developing an educational program to address these issues;
therefore, be it
Resolved by the Legislature of West Virginia:
That the Joint Committee on Government and Finance is hereby
requested to study the need for providing training to persons
selling and serving alcohol to the public; and, be it
Further Resolved, That the Joint Committee on Government and
Finance report to the regular session of the Legislature, 2006, on

of any legislation necessary to effectuate its recommendations;
and, be it
Further Resolved, That the expenses necessary to conduct this
