Mayor Reminds of Liquor License Holder Server Training

Effingham Mayor Jeff Bloemker reminds local liquor license holders of the State of Illinois Liquor Control Commission’s BASSET training requirement.

As of July 1, 2018, Illinois became a mandatory server training state. The State Commission’s Beverage Alcohol Sellers and Servers Education and Training (BASSET) Program is required for all servers, bartenders and security detail to be certified by a licensed BASSET provider. Package liquor establishments are exempt. For more information regarding the BASSET Program or a listing of licensed BASSET providers and courses, check the ILCC website at www.illinois.gov/ilcc.

Mayor Bloemker serves as the City’s liquor control commissioner assisted by Jane Kemper, deputy liquor control commissioner. Questions and concerns may be addressed by calling City Hall at 342-5300 or via email at jkemper@effinghamil.com.
