They do. They have multiple agencies holding them accountable including several different trainings and licenses required to even serve in DC. MD and VA businesses pay nothing (which DC businesses rent even asking for) while DC businesses pay hundreds of thousands of dollars a year or go without bc they can鈥檛 afford it. Alabama added language in their liquor liability reform and immediately cut their ISO score in half. There鈥檚 the proof. How anyone can argue that adding defined terms won鈥檛 be effective鈥he proof is spelled out in black and white. Want to talk about equity? I can assure you the smallest businesses, many owned by people of color, are going uninsured bc the policy prices are completely out of reach. Only the big multinational chains, out of town restaurant groups and yet another STARR restaurant can afford hundreds of thousands of dollars in liquor liability. DC doesn鈥檛 have some huge alcoholism or drunk driving problem but regardless, why is adding ANY personal responsibility from grown adults viewed as outrageous?

Bar owners have a responsibility to look out for the safety of the community and not just greed of their pocket. Wow everybody is responsible for their own action so is the actions of the bar. As long as the establishment has the right to deny entry and or serve they hold the responsibility of safety.
