PRESIDENT’S PERSPECTIVE W
elcome to the inaugural 2020 edition of On Premise. As you may notice what was the On Premise Membership Directory & Buyer’s Guide has changed. With advances in technology, the TLW is continuously striving to update and keep up with the times. With the success of our TLW app, the directory in print form has become obsolete. We are reinventing and updating this issue, and hope you like what you see.
The main change has been the discontinuation of listing every member. The app is continuously updated to include all current and new members — an option not available for us in print form. If you don’t currently have the app on your phone, I strongly urge you to go to either the Apple Store or Google Play (depending on your style of phone), search for Tavern League of Wisconsin and download it for free. This issue will continue to serve as a great reference tool for you, as it is still loaded with important information, resources and dates. It has been my honor to serve all 5,000 members of the TLW over the past few years. We have made immense strides in updating and improving our association, and our ability to serve you, our members. We have updated our office processes and procedures, allowing us to better deal with our members’ issues on a timely basis. We are in the process of improving and expanding member benefits and services. For example (if you haven’t heard already), the TLW can now offer you and your employees health insurance. Please keep following these fast developing and exciting innovations in the pages of On Premise, and on our new and improved website, tlw.org. The TLW is an organization I truly believe in. I think being a member is a necessity for anyone working in the beverage alcohol industry. Over the years, this organization has made great advances in helping to shape and pass legislation that improves the lives of the independent mom-and-pop business owner, and

JANUARY/FEBRUARY 2020
we will continue to fight for the welfare of our members in the years to come. We will continue to monitor and fight against detrimental influences to your business, and promote legislation that will help and add value to your business and your bottom line. I am very proud of this association and what we do, and I strongly believe that, without the TLW having our backs, the Wisconsin hospitality industry would not exist and prosper as it does today. Those who would propose and pass laws to harm your business and make it harder for you to be successful will not rest, and neither will the TLW. We are determined to do the best for you — our members. This magazine, On Premise, is our association’s bimonthly publication and it’s included in your membership. Over the next year, you will be able to read about the issues that affect our businesses and industry through regular columns by our executive director, government affairs director, as well as the executive director of American Beverage Licensees (ABL), our national association based in Washington, D.C. As a TLW member, you are automatically enrolled as a member of ABL — another benefit the TLW provides. The magazine also presents articles about our local leagues, our affiliate members and feature stories on the hot topics that directly impact our members. As I travel around the state, I look forward to stopping at our members’ establishments for a cool beverage and great food. Using our new TLW app, I hope to see as many of you as I can over the next year. Please patronize our other members as you travel the state. Also, take advantage of some of the perks and special pricing offered by some of our affiliate members, and spread the word about the huge advantages and benefits of being a TLW member. I am proud to say I am a member of the TLW and proud to be your president. I hope to see you at your place of business as I work my way around the state. Salute!

We appreciate each and every one of you who pays your dues each year to remain a part of the largest organization in the country that fights the fight for you to stay in business. The TLW is getting it done for you.
OUR MISSION The TLW is a 5,000-member, non-profit trade association dedicated to serving the needs of the retail beverage alcohol segment of the hospitality industry in the state of Wisconsin.

INDUSTRY EDUCATION The TLW provides educational opportunities to help inform our members in the hospitality industry. BARTENDER COURSES The Tavern League of Wisconsin offers education and training for bartenders. Online Bartending Training – TIPS Training The TIPS on-premise training course is an online program designed to teach those who sell and serve alcohol ways to prevent intoxication, drunk driving and underage drinking. This two- to three-hour online course addresses concerns specific to restaurants, hotels, bars, nightclubs, banquets, private parties and other on-premise liquor license holders where alcohol is served by the drink. eTIPS certification is valid for three years. Online Bartender Course – 360 Training With 360training.com, you can take your Bartending Certification training and exam anytime and anywhere you have an internet connection. The Wisconsin Responsible Beverage Training is a four-hour interactive e-learning course that teaches students how to responsibly sell and serve alcoholic beverages in the state of Wisconsin. This certification is good for three years. For more information about both courses, visit tlw.org/education/bartenders.
RESTAURANT MANAGERS CERTIFICATION CLASSES The National Registry of Food Safety Professionals, approved by the Health and Family Services (HFS) Department, approves our instructors and provides the TLW with state-approved examinations for our classes. We provide certification and education classes that are available at several locations throughout the state. Our classes are valid for five years. For more information, see Page 40 about the Food Manager Certification Class and the Small Operators Training Permit offered by the TLW, or visit tlw.org/education/restaurant-managers-certification-course.
ONLINE FOOD MANAGER COURSES The Tavern League promotes food manager training through the TAP Series. These are online courses that are required to receive the Food Safety Manager’s License or the Small Operators Permit. This training is only available through the TAP Series. Once you complete the training for the Food Safety Manager’s License, you must register for an exam at one of our current food safety class sites. To qualify for the Small Operators Permit online course, you cannot be more than 30 days past your current license’s expiration date. Once you complete the Small Operators online training course, you need to print your certificate of completion and post it at your establishment. For more information and to register, visit tlw.org/education/on-line-food-managers-training-only.
LOCAL LEAGUE BUILDING BLOCKS Creating a framework for how to properly organize and manage league functions is essential to building a strong local league. Grant/Iowa County Tavern League created a model to follow with guidelines for conducting league meetings, implementing state bylaws, following rules pertaining to league officers, strategizing for committee assignments, handling audits and reimbursements, determining a workable calendar for your league, as well as other operational policies. To review Grant/Iowa County’s presentation as well as the TLW’s guidelines, see tlw.org/education/league-leaders.
AMERICAN BEVERAGE INSTITUTE (ABI) HOTLINE ABI is one of the leading organizations dedicated to the protection of responsible on-premise consumption of adult beverages and it’s leading the fight against lowering the blood-alcohol arrest level for driving to 0.05. For more information, visit tlw.org/education/ABI-hotline or abionline.org.
AMERICAN BEVERAGE LICENSEES (ABL) As a TLW member, you are also a member of ABL, the preeminent national trade association for retail beverage alcohol license holders across the United States. Within the three-tier system of producers, distributors and retailers, beverage licensees are the last to handle beverage alcohol products before they reach the consumer and reflect a lasting image of the industry to the public. Most ABL members, like you, are locally owned bars, restaurants or stores that support their communities. Visit tlw.org/ education/american-beverage-licensing or ablusa.org. www.tlw.org

FOOD MANAGER CERTIFICATION
Our experienced instructors have taught over 37,000 hospitality employees over the last 27 years. They are people from the industry who know what to teach and how to teach it. The information covered in our class book allows food handlers to learn the proper techniques for handling food in a safe and convenient manner.
T
he Wisconsin Department of Health has mandated that at least one person in each establishment must be certified by the state within 90 days of opening a new or existing restaurant. The only exceptions are Portage and Kenosha Counties, where certification must occur before opening for business. Certification is accomplished by passing an exam on safe food handling practices. The TLW is one of a few groups to offer instructional classes.

of the license holder to get the proper certification in the mandated time. Again, our instructors not only review the important elements of food handling, but also all the changes to the Food Code that occur on a constant basis.
Certified food managers must take the written exam every five years after initial completion of the program. Establishments that have five or fewer cooks or food handlers across the entire staff may qualify for the small operator’s permit under Wisconsin Licensure of Food Safety Training for Small Operators.
With constant changes in the food industry, it is vital that food handlers be kept up to date. When the certified person is not on premise, the person in charge must demonstrate this same knowledge. For the protection of your customers and the protection of your business, the Tavern League is proud to offer this certification.
Due to a change in 2019, certified food managers no longer have a 30-day grace period after the expiration of their license or certificate. It is the responsibility
The TLW offers over 500 classes a year throughout the state. Call the state office for our schedule or visit the education page on our website, www.tlw.org, to register. www.tlw.org
TLW FOUNDATION
TLW Foundation Helps Fund our Giving Spirit
T
he Wisconsin Tavern League Foundation is a 501(c)(3) non-profit organization that provides financial support for thousands of Wisconsin charities, such as VetsRoll and Children of Restaurant Employees, as well as the Tavern League’s SafeRide program, through many varied fundraisers throughout the state. Through a matching funds program, the foundation supports local tavern leagues and individuals in their efforts to benefit organizations and people in need by offering up to $1,500 in matching state funds from the TLW.
The TLW and its members’ impact is tremendous when it comes to helping charities across the state. For example, the total amount of donations in 2018 was more than $13.6 million in support of 12,668 charities throughout every county of Wisconsin. “Local taverns, bars and restaurants have a long history in Wisconsin as a gathering place for celebrating or commiserating while spending time with friends,” TLW Executive Director Pete Madland says. Every member of the TLW lives and works in their community. And they believe in supporting efforts to make their community an even better place to live and work.

SafeRide Program Celebrates 35 Years of Success! N
ow in its 36th year, the TLW’s SafeRide Program continues to be a model for the rest of the nation. The Tavern League’s commitment to eliminate drunk driving from Wisconsin’s roadways is documented in its recently released SafeRide Survey of more than 60 counties in the state. In 2018-19, TLW member establishments provided 92,959 free rides home to their patrons, up more than 1,700 rides from the previous year and double the rides provided in 2007.
The TLW’s new promotional campaign for SafeRide will include TV ads featuring program statistics. www.tlw.org
Thanks in part to the SafeRide Program found in 1,753 TLW member establishments, Wisconsin witnessed a 44% decline in operating while impaired (OWI) convictions since 2007 and nearly a 50% decline in alcohol-related fatalities during that same time period. The cost of the SafeRide Program, which is nearly $1 million, is shared by hardworking TLW members, as well as funds generated by surcharges on OWI convictions.
According to TLW Executive Director Pete Madland, the program’s status as the largest and most successful alternative transportation program in the country to address the issue of operating a motor vehicle while impaired is due to TLW members. “We are very proud of our members who volunteer their time to ensure the program continues to thrive,” he says. The Tavern League’s SafeRide Program is now considered the standard for other states as they strive to combat the issue of drunk driving. In fact, the program is so well-known, according to Madland, it was recognized by the United States Conference of Mayors for its effort to reduce alcohol-related crashes and fatalities. The TLW launched a promotional campaign to raise awareness of the SafeRide Program last fall. Television ads were developed and will be running statewide this year. Congratulations on a safer Wisconsin, everyone! JANUARY/FEBRUARY 2020

WISCONSIN DEPT. OF REVENUE 4. Closing hours the same as “Class B” License, above. 5. A winery that has a “Class B” (wine only) license issued under s. 125.51(3) (am) must close between 9:00 p.m. and 8:00 a.m. “Class C” Wine License – Authorizes the retail sale of wine by the glass or in an opened original container for consumption on premises only. A single, open bottle of wine may be taken off premise if ordered with a meal and re-corked prior to being taken off premise. 1. No sales to other licensees for resale. 2. Closing hours the same as “Class B” License, above. Notice - With limited exceptions, all retailers of alcohol beverages may only sell to consumers who are physically at the licensed premises. FOR EXAMPLE: 1. A customer phones in an order to a local pizza parlor (that holds a “Class B” Beer License) to have a pizza and a six pack of beer delivered to his home — this sale is prohibited, as the sale was not made face-to-face to the consumer at the licensed premises. 2. A group of college students call their local liquor store and ask that 6 half barrels of beer be delivered to their house for a party — this sale is prohibited, as the sale was not made face-to-face to the consumers at the licensed premises. III. ALCOHOL BEVERAGE LAW A. Closing Hours Customers must leave the premises by the closing hour; internal business operations (counting cash, cleaning, repairs, etc.) may be done after hours but licensees must be able to prove that anyone on the premises after hours is there for these purposes. Hotels and restaurants whose “principal business” is furnishing lodging and food to customers, bowling centers, indoor horseshoe pitching facilities, golf courses, and curling clubs may remain open after hours to conduct their regular business. They may not permit consumption of or sell alcohol beverages after hours. “Principal business” means the primary activity as determined by analyzing the amount of capital, labor, time, attention, and floor space devoted to each business activity and by analyzing the sources of net income and gross income. The name, appearance, and advertising of the entity may also be taken into consideration if they are given less weight. B. Daylight Saving Time Section 175.095(2), Wis. Stats., states that daylight saving time begins at 2:00 a.m. the second Sunday in March and ends at 2:00 a.m. the first Sunday in November. As such, clocks are set ahead one hour at 2:00 a.m. the second Sunday in March. Thus taverns would close at 3:30 a.m. daylight saving time on this date. On the first Sunday in November, the clocks are set back an hour at 2:00 a.m.; bars gain an extra hour and must close at 2:30 a.m. regular Central Standard Time.

C. Training Requirements For Completion Of The Responsible Beverage Server Training Course (Required As A Condition Of Licensing) Applicants must successfully complete an approved training course, such as courses offered by the Wisconsin Technical College System, or similar approved courses (see “Training” on the department’s website at www.revenue.wi.gov) unless: 1. The person is renewing a retail or an operator’s (bartender’s/ sales clerk’s) license. 2. The person was the agent (within the last two years) for a corporation that held a “Class A” beer, “Class B” beer, “Class A” liquor, “Class B” liquor or “Class C” wine license. 3. The person held a retail license or an operator’s or manager’s license during the past two years. 4. The person completed such a course within the past two years. IV. LICENSING A license is a privilege granted by local authorities to a particular person, partnership, or corporation to run a particular place for the time period specified. Just as one’s driver’s license can’t be used by another, an alcohol beverage license can’t be used by someone other than the licensee to sell alcohol beverages. The license or permit of a person who violates this shall be revoked. The governing body of every city, village, and town may, but is not required to, issue local retail liquor and beer licenses. The municipality may refuse to issue licenses as long as it uses good judgment and does not discriminate between applicants. V. SALE OF ALCOHOL BEVERAGES The term “sale,” “sold,” or “sell” includes the transfer, gift, barter, trade, exchange, or any shift, device, scheme, or transaction whatever, whereby alcohol beverages may be obtained. Giving away alcohol beverages or using any other device to evade the law relating to its sale is an unlawful sale. The following are some examples of illegal transactions at unlicensed premises: 1. A “free” drink with a meal; 2. A cover charge, whereby mix is furnished at a price, with “no charge” for liquor; 3. A “free” bottle of liquor tied into the sale of some other item. Penalty: Fine of not more than $10,000 or imprisonment for not more than nine months, or both. VI. SELLER’S PERMIT A. Every individual, partnership, corporation, or other organization selling tangible personal property in Wisconsin must have a seller’s permit. B. A licensee may not conduct business without a seller’s permit, which must be issued in the same name as the licensee. If the retail liquor license is issued to a partnership or corporation, the seller’s permit must be too; not to the agent, officer, or individual. If you have a question about sales and use taxes, write to the department in Madison or call or visit any department office. www.tlw.org

FEDERAL TAX STAMP Every retail licensee must file a federal Special Occupational Tax return before beginning business and before July 1 each year, after that. The Special Occupational Tax return (TTB Form 5630.5) is available from the National Revenue Center, (800) 937-8864. VIII. LICENSES FRAMED AND POSTED All liquor and beer licenses must be framed and posted in the room where the business is carried on. Everyone visiting the business must be able to easily see the licenses in that room. Any related permits and licenses should be posted with the alcohol beverage license. IX. R EQUIRED ONSITE SUPERVISION OF LICENSED PREMISES A. Except in “Class A” beer premises between midnight and 6:00 a.m. (or any time when the sale of fermented malt beverages is prohibited by municipal ordinance), one of the following must be present on all licensed premises during all business hours: 1. The licensee, or; 2. An adult member of licensee’s immediate family (actually living in the licensee’s household), or; 3. The corporation agent, (the agent’s immediate family members must have an operators’ license, if they supervise the premises in the agent’s absence), or; 4. The holder of a provisional operator’s license (issued to persons enrolled in the responsible beverage server training course pending approval of an operator’s license by the municipal governing body), or; 5. The holder of an operator’s or manager’s license. B. An adult working under the immediate supervision of any of the above does not need an operator’s license. NOTE: “Immediate supervision” means that the licensed person must be able to watch and supervise each unlicensed person’s actions. This means that the licensed person must be in the same room or area as the unlicensed person, near enough to see and talk to him or her, and to be able to actually supervise the unlicensed person. C. An operator’s license is good in any premises in the municipality where it has been issued, but it may be used only in that municipality. Licensees may be prosecuted for not having the required supervision on their premises. X. SALE TO INTOXICATED PERSONS It is illegal to furnish alcohol beverages to an intoxicated person. The penalty for this violation is $100-$500 fine, imprisonment for not more than 60 days, or both. www.tlw.org
XI. REFILLED LIQUOR BOTTLES A. It is illegal to refill any liquor bottle; you may not pour any substance into a liquor bottle, even the same brand of liquor. B. When a bottle is empty, deface its label and break the bottle. If the bottle has a Wisconsin tax stamp, deface this, too. C. You don’t have to break bottles saved for recycling; however, the labels must be defaced. Bottles saved for recycling must be placed in boxes marked “For Recycling Only.” D. You do not have to break empty ceramic decanters, but you must deface the tax stamp, if any. XII. IDENTIFICATION REGISTER A. The Department of Revenue recommends that every licensee keep an identification register book. The ID register may be used to record the identity of a person who alleges he or she is of legal drinking age. The book may also be used to record the identity of a person who alleges that he or she is an underage person’s parent, guardian, or spouse and that he or she has attained the legal drinking age. Record the date of purchase, the type of identification used, and the address of the purchaser, then have the purchaser sign the register. Check the signature in the book against the signature on the ID to see that they match. B. The “Proof of Age Register” or “Identification Register Book” may be purchased, at a small fee, from: 1. Tavern League of Wisconsin, 2817 Fish Hatchery Road, Fitchburg, WI, 53713-5005, phone: (608) 270-8591, email: info@tlw.org 2. Wisconsin Grocers Assn., 1 S. Pinckney, Ste. 504, Madison, WI, 53703, phone: (608) 244-7150, email: sdecorah@wisconsingrocers.com. XIII. PRESERVATION OF RECORDS Alcohol beverage (and cigarette and tobacco products) retailers must purchase these products only from Wisconsin wholesalers. They may not be transferred between retail accounts, except that alcohol beverages may be as specified in “Transfer of Alcohol Beverage Stock,” below. Keep invoices for all purchases of liquor and beer (and cigarettes and tobacco products) on the licensed premises for two years from the date of the invoice. Keep them in sequence and in chronological order. They must be available for inspection during business hours. XIV. TRANSFER OF ALCOHOL BEVERAGE STOCK If you sell your business, you may transfer your sealed liquor, wine and beer stock to another retail licensee in this state. List your entire sealed stock on an inventory Form AT-900 available at the Department of Revenue’s website at www.revenue.wi.gov. Complete this form in duplicate, sign it, and have it signed by the buyer. Give one copy to the buyer, to be kept as an invoice on the licensed premises, and keep one copy for your own records. Cigarettes and tobacco products may not be transferred.

WISCONSIN DEPT. OF REVENUE XV. CORKAGE FEES Wisconsin alcohol beverage law does not allow “corkage fees” – fees charged by restaurant owners to allow patrons to carry in their own alcohol beverages to be consumed on the premises. If the restaurant does have an alcohol beverage license, the only alcohol beverages allowed on the premises are those which the retailer has purchased from a licensed Wisconsin wholesaler; the retailer is required to have invoices from the wholesaler showing what product the retailer has purchased from the wholesaler. If the restaurant does not have an alcohol beverage license, allowing consumption of alcohol beverages is prohibited and the restaurant owner can be charged for allowing its illegal consumption. XVI. CREDIT LAWS A licensee may only buy liquor or beer for cash or on credit terms for a period not to exceed 30 days (liquor) or 15 days (beer). Licensees may not buy liquor if they are in debt to any liquor wholesaler for more than 30 days, or beer if they are in debt to any beer wholesaler for more than 15 days. A person may not be issued a license if he or she exceeds these limits. XVII. INSPECTION OF LICENSED PREMISES A. Licensed premises may be inspected by law enforcement officers during all reasonable hours, including all business hours. All rooms connected to the barroom, sales room, or storage area may be inspected as part of the licensed premise. Refusing to permit an inspection is grounds for revocation or suspension of the license. B. Liquor, beer, cigarettes, and personal property kept in violation of the statutes may be seized. XVIII. U NDERAGE PERSONS ENTERING LICENSED PREMISES A. An underage person accompanied by his or her parent, guardian, or spouse of legal drinking age may be on any licensed premises. B. An unaccompanied underage person may enter a Class A alcohol beverage licensed premises to buy items other than alcohol beverages. The underage person may not stay on the premises after the purchase.

The premises has a “Class B” beer or “Class B” liquor license and the underage person is in a room where no alcohol beverages are sold, furnished, served, or consumed by anyone when the underage person is present. This applies only if the municipality adopts an ordinance allowing it. The local law enforcement agency must authorize, in writing, the presence of underage persons on the date of the authorization. A separate authorization is necessary for each date on which underage persons will be on the premises. (Sec. 125.07(3)(a) (8), Wis. Stats.) 8. The underage person is on “Class B” or “Class B” licensed premises, on a date specified by the license, when no alcohol beverages are consumed, sold, or given away. The licensee, the agent named on the license (if a corporation), or a person with an operator’s license must be on the premises unless all alcohol beverages are in locked storage. The licensee must notify the local law enforcement agency, in advance, of when underage persons will be on the premises. (Sec. 125.07(3)(a) (10), Wis. Stats.) 9.

The premises is issued a temporary “Class B” (picnic) beer license and the licensee is authorized to permit underage persons on the premises by the official or body of the municipality that issued the license. Note: When the purpose of the above exemptions (that is, bowling, dining, recreation, etc.) can be accomplished without the underage person being in the barroom or other areas where alcohol beverages are sold or consumed, the underage person may not enter or remain in such areas (State vs. Ludwig Lanes, 31 Wis. 2nd 690). D. No retail licensee may permit an underage person, not accompanied by a parent, guardian, or spouse of legal drinking age, to enter any part of the licensed premises for any purpose except those stated on page 81. E. You should demand proof of age of anyone entering the premises who appears to be under the legal drinking age. Wisconsin residents may prove age with either a valid Wisconsin identification card or a pictured Wisconsin driver’s www.tlw.org
WISCONSIN DEPT. OF REVENUE license. You or your employee should require anyone who has shown proof of legal drinking age to sign an ID register book, if the person’s age is in question. Record the date of purchase, the identification used, the address, and the signature of the purchaser in the book. The book should be kept on the premises and available for inspection by any peace officer. (Sec. 125.07(7), Wis. Stats.) XIX. SALES AND SERVICE OF ALCOHOL BEVERAGES TO UNDERAGE PERSONS An underage person accompanied by a parent, guardian, or spouse of legal drinking age may be sold or served alcohol beverages in any licensed premises. (Sec. 125.07(1), Wis. Stats.) XX.

Campuses, if the underage person is at least 18 years of age and is under the immediate supervision of a person of legal drinking age. XXI. NONALCOHOL “BEER” Section 125.02, Wis. Stats., classifies “alcohol beverages” as those beverages containing 0.5% or more alcohol by volume. Beverages that contain less than 0.5% alcohol by volume are not classified as “alcohol beverages”. Thus, these “nonalcohol” beverages are not regulated by Chapter 125; they are to be treated the same as other noncarbonated waters and sodas, and may be sold to anyone, regardless of age. These beverages should not be confused with those labeled “low alcohol” (L.A.), which generally contain 3.2% alcohol, and are regulated by Chapter 125 as being alcohol beverages. XXII. EMPLOYMENT OF MINORS A. Minors under 14 years of age may not be employed where alcohol beverages are sold except that minors as young as 12 may be employed at such establishments if their parents own the business. B. Minors 14 and older may be employed where alcohol beverages are stored, sold, or served if they are not serving, selling, dispensing, or giving away alcohol beverages. This applies to www.tlw.org
all places licensed to sell alcohol beverages, including stores, service stations, bars, and restaurants. C. Minors may not be employed or appear as musicians, singers, performers, or dancers at roadhouses, dance halls, night clubs, taverns, or similar places, except: 1. Minors 16 or 17 years of age may be employed or appear as musicians in a hall on Friday, Saturday, or any other day not followed by a school day, or before midnight on Sunday, if the hall was rented to celebrate a special event such as a wedding, holiday, birthday, or anniversary. 2. Minors may be so employed or appear at dances held solely for minors, conducted by private clubs or civic organizations, where admission is limited to the club membership or by club invitation, and the general public is excluded. (Sec. 103.78, Wis. Stats.). (Sec. 103.78(1)(d), Wis. Stats., and Wis. Adm. Code DWD 270.) XXIII. O THER LAWS RELATING TO UNDERAGE PERSONS A. No one may falsely represent that he or she is of legal drinking age to ask for or obtain alcohol beverages in any licensed premises. (Sec. 125.07(4), Wis. Stats.) B.

Stats.) Permission may not be given to underage persons. XXIV. PENALTIES FOR VIOLATIONS A.

Anyone other than a person authorized by sec. 25.085, Wis. Stats., or sec. 343.50, Wis. Stats., who makes, alters, or duplicates an official ID card, provides an official ID card to an underage person, or knowingly provides other documentation to an underage person claiming that the underage person is of legal drinking age may be fined not less than $300 nor more than $1,250 or imprisoned not less than ten days nor more than thirty days, or both. B. Any underage person who does any of the following may be penalized. For a first violation, a forfeiture of $300 -$1,250, suspension of the person’s driving privilege, participation in a supervised work program, or any combination of these penalties 1. Intentionally carries an official ID card not legally issued to him or her, an official ID card obtained under false pretenses, or an official ID card which has been duplicated to give false information. 2. Makes, alters, or duplicates an official ID card. 3. Gives false information in applying for an official ID card. 4. Intentionally carries an ID card or other documentation showing that he or she is of legal drinking age, knowing that the documentation is false. 5. Provides to another underage person an official ID card or other documentation claiming that the other underage person is of legal drinking age, knowing that the documentation is false. C. Any person who violates A above, for money or other consideration is guilty of a Class I felony. XXVI. ID/DL CHECKING GUIDE A. False ID/DL Checking Guide • Ask pertinent questions about the ID presented. For example, if an ID card is presented as proof of age, ask how the driving was on the way to the establishment. If the person was driving, ask to see his DL. • Check the card’s expiration date. If the DL has expired, maybe it really does not belong to the holder, but to an older sibling who has already got a replacement for it. How did he/ she get to the establishment, drive, using an expired DL? • Watch for stamp of “duplicate” on the card. If they have a duplicate, maybe someone else has the original, and one of them is lying. • People with false IDs rarely carry backup documentation, whereas most people have several forms. When confronted

with a possible false ID, ask for further documentation. • Question the carrier as to some basic information on the card, such as address, exact birth date, middle initial, or spelling of last name. If they don’t answer to your satisfaction, refuse service and request that they immediately leave. B. Things to look for: • Glue lines. • Bumpy surfaces by the picture or birth date. Any surface area inconsistent with the rest of the ID usually indicates tampering. • Overlay of reprinted numbers (and a shadowy or cloudy image). ID card may have been opened to alter numbers. • Missing spots on the state logo. ID alterers often forget to pay attention to one of the most obvious clues on the card. • Comparison to legitimate DL or ID. Letters and numbers; size of lettering; format of the card. How may digits for expiration and date of birth? • Use a blacklight and magnifying glass to check for security features such as ultraviolet/microprinting on the DL or ID. • Check reverse side lettering. Oftentimes counterfeiters will spend great amounts of time on reproducing an authenticlooking photoboard, but will merely photocopy the reverse side. These are often blurred, a sure sign of photocopying. • Bend the card, feel it. How does it feel compared to the authentic card? • What is the color of card? • Check the size of the DL. How does it compare to a genuine one? • Check the color/thickness and clarity of lettering. • Check thickness of the card. • Check the corners of the card. Are they well-rounded and smooth or uneven and jagged? This is one of the best methods for detecting counterfeit cards. • Is there shading or glare on the picture or redness in eyes? Most driver licensing stations have their cameras set to avoid these problems. • Use an ID Checking Guide, especially in areas where there is a heavy out-of-state population (colleges, tourist communities). There are several commercial companies that publish these guides, which picture all of the states’ driver’s licenses. • Consistency with the numbers. These are often targets for alteration experts. Look closely, because they may really be altered. • Always check the reverse side. • Compare questionable document to the “standard,” your own driver’s license. Check letters and numbers, both for size and consistency against the authentic card. • Check the laminate. How does it compare to the authentic? Is it clear or cloudy? XXVII. CIVIL LIABILITY FOR RETAINING ID Civil Liability for retaining proofs of age. (Sec. 125.039, Wis. Stats.). No person who holds a license or permit and no employee of such a person is civilly liable for retaining a document presented as proof of age for a reasonable length of time in a good faith effort to determine whether the person who presented the document is an underage person or to notify law enforcement of a suspected violation of carrying a false ID. www.tlw.org
