What is H.3430?

H.3430 is the South Carolina law that created mandatory alcohol server training for covered on-premises alcohol servers and managers. It gives workers a required training path and gives businesses a clearer responsibility to track certificates.

What the law is trying to solve

The law standardizes responsible alcohol service training across covered South Carolina hospitality businesses. It gives owners, managers, servers, and bartenders a clearer baseline for ID checks, intoxication, refusal, documentation, and liability.

What H.3430 requires in an online course

Online training is not supposed to be a quick unguided PDF or a short video. State law sets course design requirements for course length, language access, interactive learning, testing, and online proctoring.

  • At least 4 hours of online content
  • English and Spanish availability
  • Interactive course structure
  • Final test with online proctoring

Most people using that phrase are talking about the required alcohol server certificate or alcohol server training, not a separate South Carolina bartender license.
