216: Managers to hold certificate

You could also call this:

"Bar managers must be at least 20 and have a special certificate"

To be a manager of a place that sells alcohol, you must be at least 20 years old and have a special certificate called a manager's certificate. This certificate is granted under a part of the Sale and Supply of Alcohol Act 2012. If you were granted a manager's certificate before this law came into effect and you were under 20, this new rule does not affect you. You can find more information about this by looking at s 116. This rule is part of the law to ensure that managers of licensed premises meet certain requirements.
