What must an on-premise location licensee do in the event of a fight or disturbance?

The requirement for an on-premise location licensee to file a typewritten report within 7 days of a fight or disturbance is designed to ensure that there is an official and documented account of any incidents that occur on the premises. This process helps maintain accountability and allows regulatory authorities to review and monitor situations that may affect public safety and order.

By submitting a report within this timeframe, the licensee demonstrates compliance with regulations and actively participates in maintaining a safe environment for patrons. This protocol provides necessary information to the liquor commission, which can be crucial in evaluating an establishment's management and handling of such incidents. Detailed reports allow regulatory bodies to take appropriate actions when necessary, such as conducting investigations or implementing corrective measures if the situation warrants it.

While contacting local law enforcement is essential in some situations, the specific focus of this requirement is on the documentation process rather than immediate intervention. Other choices, such as asking patrons to leave or notifying the liquor commission immediately, are important actions but do not fulfill the mandatory reporting obligation stipulated in regulations governing licensees.
