There are many reasons to obtain a BASSET card. First and foremost is compliance with Illinois law. As of July 1, 2018 all on-premise alcohol servers in Illinois (and those required to check identification for alcohol service) are required to take the BASSET course.

Other reasons include:

• Your employer will likely require it;
• If you break the law as a seller-server, criminal charges may be filed against you and you may be sued if your actions resulted in property damage, personal injury or death;
• As a seller-server of alcohol, you play a vital role in public safety. You are an important part of keeping alcohol out of the hands of minors and drunk drivers off the roads.
• As boring as it may be, there’s a lot of good stuff in our course that will make you better and more responsible at your job.

Please provide the cardholder a copy of the receipt and tell them the charge will appear on their statement as BASSET ON THE FLY.
