HOUSE BILL NO. 213
"An Act relating to alcohol server education."
JANE PERRSON, STAFF, REPRESENTATIVE JAY RAMRAS, explained
that HB 213 would make it easier for competent alcohol
servers to renew their alcohol server education card without
retaking the full course, provided they pass the test. It
would save time and expense in the service industry.
Co-Chair Chenault asked if this is referring to the TAMS
card. Ms. Perrson replied yes.

to be retested. Ms. Perrson replied yes.

REPRESENTATIVE JAY RAMRAS, related that he employees
personnel servers who have to take the 3-hour course and
then take the exam. He said that there are thousands of
hours lost by having to take the course over again. The
bill would eliminate most of the course and the servers
could take the test and be awarded a new certification.

material as the course. Ms. Perrson replied yes.

Commerce supports this bill.

in the test, he supports the bill.

Representative Weyhrauch asked if there are accommodations
for blind bartenders. Representative Ramras said an
amendment could be entertained for alternate methods of
testing. Representative Weyhrauch inquired if proof of
completion could be a card or something else.
Representative Ramras explained that presently everyone is
issued a card. Troopers can request that the cards be
shown, so cards are used to keep it simple.
