Oregon Trends 2026
Oregon is tightening its alcohol server compliance regulations.
New Mexico’s alcohol compliance system is regulated by the New Mexico Regulation and Licensing Department (RLD), Alcohol & Gaming Division. While alcohol server training is not universally mandated statewide for all roles, many employers require certification to ensure responsible service and reduce liability risks.
