16 for the training of all food service employees who are
17 responsible for the storage, preparation, display, or serving
18 of foods to the public in establishments regulated under this

6 to food safety, and its ability to provide a statewide program
7 with industry support and participation. Any food safety
8 training program established and administered to food handler
9 employees utilized at a public food service establishment
10 prior to the effective date of this act shall be submitted by
11 the operator to the division for its review and approval. If
12 the food safety training program is approved by the division,

14 food service establishment from also utilizing the approved
15 program or require the employees of any operator to receive
16 training from or pay a fee to the division's contracted
17 provider. Review and approval by the division of a program or
18 programs under this section shall include, but not be limited

10 court, or restaurant in which the license is located and must
11 remain in the name of the owner or lessee so long as the

14 application does not on its face disclose any reason for
15 denying an alcoholic beverage license, by any purchaser of a
16 business which possesses a beverage license of any type or
