D.C. Mun. Regs. r. 23-707
An owner or the Board-approved manager shall be present at the licensed establishment during the hours in which alcoholic beverages may be sold, served, or consumed on the licensed premises.
Notwithstanding the requirements in § 707.1, neither the owner nor the Board-approved manager must be present at the licensed establishment when:
If a licensee has designated a person to manage the licensed business, each manager shall be the holder of a valid Manager's license which shall be renewable every two years.
A Manager's license shall remain valid until surrendered, expired, suspended, or revoked.
An applicant for a Manager's license shall be investigated and shall be subject to the approval of the Board.
Prior to issuance of a Manager's license, an applicant shall certify that he or she has obtained and read a copy of the Act (D.C. Official Code §§ 25-101 et seq.) and this title.
A manager holding a valid license according to the provisions of this section may be employed by one (1) or more licensees without further investigation.
All licensees shall notify the Board within seven (7) calendar days of discovering any manager's arrest or conviction for other than minor traffic violations.
Failure by the applicant to comply with § 707.8, may, in the discretion of the Board, cause the applicant's license to be suspended or revoked.
A licensee may file a written request with the Board that an applicant for a Manager's license who has not completed an alcohol training and education certification program be issued a temporary Manager's license subject to the requirements of § 212.2. The written request shall set forth the name of the licensed establishment, the trade name, the address of the establishment, the name of the applicant for the Manager's license, and the reason why the issuance of the temporary Manager's license is necessary. Such temporary authority shall cease after thirty (30) days or upon the approval or denial of the Manager's license application.
