Bill 147 2017

for persons working where liquor is sold

Preamble

2015,

Ontario's

Select Committee on Sexual Violence and Harassment recommended that sexual

assault awareness and intervention training be included as part of Smart Serve

Certification for individuals who serve alcohol.

Training

front line workers such as bartenders, servers and their managers to recognize

the signs of sexual harassment and assault and to intervene in an appropriate

manner will promote the safety of all Ontarians and contribute to the reduction

of sexual violence in the province.

Therefore,

Her Majesty, by and with the advice and consent of the Legislative Assembly of

the Province of Ontario, enacts as follows:

The Liquor Licence Act is amended by adding the

following section:

Sexual

violence and harassment training

(2) On

and after the prescribed day, the server training course referred to in

subsection (1) shall include a sexual violence and harassment prevention training

component approved by the Board.

Commencement

This Act comes into force on a day to be named by proclamation of the

Lieutenant Governor.
