Each such licensee will be held strictly accountable for all violations that occur in the licensed premises and are committed by or suffered and permitted by any manager, agent or employee of such licensee. Persons licensed hereunder shall also have a particular responsibility to conform with those provisions of section 260.20 of the Penal Law and sections 398-c and 399-d of the General Business Law, which relate to the admission of minors to premises wherein alcoholic beverages are sold.
