The proper conduct of on-premises licensed establishments is essential to the public interest. Failure of a licensee to exercise adequate supervision over the conduct of such an establishment poses a substantial risk not only to the objectives of alcoholic beverage control but imperils the health, welfare and safety of the people of this State. It shall be the obligation of each person licensed pursuant to this Part to insure that a high degree of supervision is exercised over the conduct of the licensed establishment at all times in order to safeguard against abuses of the license privilege and violations of law. 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.
