Maui Liquor Certification Practice Test

What is required for a minor under 18 to work where liquor is sold?

1. A liquor license

2. Permission from the commission

3. A certification program

4. Employment experience

The correct answer is: Permission from the commission

For a minor under 18 to work where liquor is sold, permission from the commission is required. In many jurisdictions, including those governed by specific liquor laws, there are regulations in place designed to protect minors from exposure to and involvement in the sale and distribution of alcoholic beverages. Obtaining this permission typically involves ensuring that the establishment is compliant with state and local laws regarding the employment of minors, and that the working conditions are appropriate and safe. Other choices may seem relevant, but they do not address the specific legal requirement for a minor to work in a setting where liquor is sold. A liquor license is typically required for the establishment itself, not for individual employees. Certification programs may be necessary for training purposes but do not substitute for the legal obligation to secure permission from the relevant governing body. Lastly, while employment experience can be valuable for a job, it is not a legal requirement needed to work in an environment that involves the sale of alcohol.
