class=\"text-red\" href=\"https:\/\/www.tennessean.com\/story\/news\/2018\/06\/18\/tn-alcoholic-beverage-commission-agents\/663479002\/\">making sure Tennessee liquor licensees are compliant with regulations and ensuring that they are adhering to laws that prevent the sale of alcohol to underage buyers<\/a>.&nbsp; In June, in addition to their normal duties in monitoring the state, there were two major music festivals in which they took part.&nbsp; They also conducted an investigative operation regarding direct shipping sales of alcohol in the state.&nbsp; Below are the results of their efforts.<\/p>\n<p>839 inspections of liquor licensees were conducted.&nbsp; Of those, 76 regulatory citations were issued resulting in fines of $86,850.<\/p>\n<p>140 Minor Compliance Checks were conducted.&nbsp; These involve participants 18-20 who are working under cover with the TNABC.&nbsp; The operation is not a means to \u201ctrick\u201d licensees and servers.&nbsp; Participants use their own real driver\u2019s licenses when trying to make a purchase.&nbsp; They are instructed to give their actual age and\/or birth date when asked, and to answer \u201cno\u201d if asked if they are over 21.&nbsp; Of the 140 checks, licensees sold to participants 28 times, resulting in 28 administrative citations and $63,000 in fines for the establishments plus 28 criminal citations for the individuals responsible.&nbsp; This is an 80% compliance rate.&nbsp; In addition, for 6 of the 28 who failed the compliance check, it was their 2nd offense in 90 days.<\/p>\n<p>TNABC Law Enforcement officers also worked with other state and local law enforcement agencies to monitor 76 bars and point-of-sale operations of alcohol being sold at the CMA Festival.&nbsp; All were compliant.<\/p>\n<p>At the Bonnaroo Music and Arts Festival, TNABC Law Enforcement Officers were the only uniformed officials to work the event.&nbsp; They checked 339 servers who were all compliant and conducted 28 minor compliance checks with 7 who sold, resulting in a 75% compliance rate.&nbsp; &nbsp;They also checked 512 ID\u2019s and found 8 to be fake.<\/p>\n<p>Finally, as part of a Direct Shopping investigation, they ordered wine online using an underage decoy to receive the shipment.&nbsp; Three out of four of the shipments were delivered to the underage recipient resulting in administrative citations to the shipper and a summons being issued to the drivers involved.<\/p>\n<p>MADD Tennessee appreciates the efforts of this agency to prevent underage drinking and monitor those that sell alcohol to help prevent over-serving which can lead to impaired driving.&nbsp; <a class=\"text-red\" href=\"https:\/\/www.tn.gov\/abc.html\">Click here for more about the TNABC
