(b) the employees have completed that training program within 30 days after the day on which each employee commences the duties of selling a tobacco product, an electronic cigarette product, or a nicotine product.
(2)(a) For the first offense at a location, if the hearing officer determines under Subsection (1) that the tobacco retailer has not implemented a documented training program with a written curriculum for employees at that location regarding compliance with this chapter, the hearing officer may suspend all or a portion of the penalty if:
(i) the tobacco retailer agrees to initiate a training program for employees at that location; and
(ii) the training program begins within 30 days after the hearing officer makes a determination under this Subsection (2)(a).
(b) If the hearing officer determines at a subsequent hearing that the tobacco retailer has not implemented the training program within the time period required under Subsection (2)(a)(ii), the hearing officer shall promptly impose the suspended monetary penalty, unless the tobacco retailer demonstrates good cause for an extension of time for implementation of the training program.
