In The News:

“Education is the first step and an essential element in maintaining compliance with the ABC Law. Over the years, the ATAP program has proven successful in instructing servers on their responsibilities when selling alcohol, leading to fewer incidences of underage drinking and sales to intoxicated persons,” said State Liquor Authority Chairman Daniel B. Boyle.

 “Offering ATAP over the internet will significantly increase accessibility to the program, thus helping to educate more licensees and their employees statewide. I want to congratulate ESTRA for developing the first of its kind on-line ATAP program,” Boyle added.
