Summary by the , the Legislature's nonpartisan drafting office. It's their wording, not ours.
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.
