We're not lawyers—just friendly helpers! 🍻 This document isn’t intended to serve as legal advice. Alcohol laws are like recipes—every city, county, and state has its own unique regulations. For the most accurate guidance on local rules, reach out to your state liquor control board (they're the real experts here). While Certivance provides resources and keeps an eye on state-level regulations, always double-check with your local authorities—because even the best need a second opinion! 😉

State Training Program:
In North Dakota, the Responsible Alcohol Server Training program is designed to educate individuals involved in the sale and service of alcoholic beverages on responsible practices and state laws. While state law does not mandate this training, several communities have local ordinances requiring it.
Participating in an approved alcohol server training course that addresses issues such as intoxication, drunk driving, and underage drinking can provide mitigating benefits in the event of a violation. If a licensee's employees have completed such training, it may lessen the penalties imposed on the retail licensee.
By engaging in responsible alcohol server training, businesses demonstrate a commitment to public safety and responsible service, which can be beneficial in mitigating potential penalties and fostering a safer environment for both patrons and staff.
