F.  A determination by the municipal officers or county commissioners that the purpose of the application is to circumvent the provisions of section 601.; and

G. After September 1, 2010, server training, in a program certified by the bureau and required by local ordinance, has not been completed by individuals who serve alcoholic beverages.’
 
SUMMARY
This amendment replaces the bill. It provides that the Department of Public Safety, bureau of liquor licensing and enforcement may deny a license to serve alcohol to be served on the premises, if the individuals who will be serving alcoholic beverages have not received training through a program certified by the Department of Public Safety, bureau of liquor licensing and enforcement. This reason for denial would only apply if the county or municipality where the licensee has an establishment has adopted the requirement by local ordinance.
