Bar bouncers need permit under new Indiana law

FORT WAYNE, Ind. (WANE) — July 1 brought a bevy of new laws to Indiana, but one will change who is allowed to inspect your ID at bars.

The House Enrolled Act 1275 redefines who exactly “alcohol servers” are and expands the term to include bouncers who check IDs when you walk into a bar.

Now, these workers will have to get employee permits like most other employees who work in locations with alcohol.

“These are commonly referred to as bartender permits, but actually they are technically employed permits and those employee permits are required for anybody who’s working as a server, a bartender, waiter, waitress, manager in a restaurant or an employee in a package, liquor store,” said Lt. Brian Stewart, Industry Liaison for the Indiana Alcohol & Tobacco Commission in a 2024 video.
