What this bill does
Plain-language analysis by the nonpartisan Legislative Reference Bureau
Under current law, with certain exceptions, a person who has not attained the
legal drinking age of 21 years (underage person), and who is not accompanied by his
or her parent, guardian, or spouse who has attained the legal drinking age, may not
knowingly possess or consume alcohol beverages and may not enter or be on any
premises for which a license or permit for the retail sale of alcohol beverages has been
issued (licensed premises). Also, no person, including a licensee or permittee, may
procure for, sell, dispense, or give away (provide) alcohol beverages to an underage
person who is not accompanied by his or her parent, guardian, or spouse who has
attained the legal drinking age.
Under this bill, an underage person accompanied by a parent, guardian, or
spouse who has attained the legal drinking age may possess, consume, or be provided
alcohol beverages on licensed premises only if the underage person is at least 18
years of age. An underage person of any age may still enter or be on licensed premises
if accompanied by a parent, guardian, or spouse who has attained the legal drinking
age.
