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

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

13 food service establishment from also utilizing the approved
14 program or require the employees of any operator to receive
15 training from or pay a fee to the division's contracted
16 provider. Review and approval by the division of a program or

18 to, the minimum food safety standards adopted by the division
19 in accordance with this section or certification. It shall be
20 the duty of the licensee of the public food service
21 establishment to provide training in accordance with the

23 licensee may return such alcoholic beverages, to the vendor
24 for a credit or reimbursement. Regardless of the county or

18 leased, in the name of the lessee of the hotel, motel, motor
19 court, or restaurant in which the license is located and must
20 remain in the name of the owner or lessee so long as the
21 license is in existence. Any license issued under this
22 section shall be marked "Special," and nothing herein provided
23 shall limit, restrict, or prevent the issuance of a special
24 license for any restaurant or motel which shall hereafter meet
25 the requirements of the law existing immediately prior to the
26 effective date of this act, if construction of such restaurant
27 has commenced prior to the effective date of this act and is
28 completed within 30 days thereafter, or if an application is
29 on file for such special license at the time this act takes
30 effect; and any such licenses issued under this proviso may be

315-2094-00
1 denying an alcoholic beverage license, by any purchaser of a
2 business which possesses a beverage license of any type or
3 series, the purchaser of such business and the applicant for
4 transfer are entitled as a matter of right to receive a

13 subsection is subject to the same rights, privileges, duties,
14 and limitations of a beverage licensee as are provided by law,
15 except that purchases of alcoholic beverages during the term
16 of such temporary license shall be for cash only. However,
