SB 17-237
signedAge Of Employees Serving Alcohol On Premises
Plain-English Summary
AI-generatedSenate Bill 17-237 changes Colorado's rules about who can serve alcohol in restaurants and hotels that serve meals. Currently, only people aged 21 or older are allowed to sell alcoholic drinks at these places. The bill allows employees as young as 18 years old to serve alcohol if they are supervised by someone over 21. This change affects businesses like restaurants and hotels but requires them to have an adult supervisor present when younger employees handle alcohol. Since the bill has been signed, it is now law and these businesses can start following its rules.
