What it would have done
Summary by the , the Legislature's nonpartisan drafting office. It's their wording, not ours.
This bill prohibits the sale, consumption, or possession of intoxicating liquor containing 80 percent or more of alcohol by volume (160 proof or higher). A person who sells intoxicating liquor in violation of this prohibition is guilty of a Class I felony, punishable by a fine not exceeding $10,000 or imprisonment not exceeding three years and six months or both. A person who consumes or possesses intoxicating liquor in violation of this prohibition must forfeit not less than $200 nor more than $500 for the first offense and not less than $500 nor more than $5,000 for the second or any subsequent offense within five years.
Because this bill creates a new crime or revises a penalty for an existing crime, the Joint Review Committee on Criminal Penalties may be requested to prepare a report concerning the proposed penalty and the costs or savings that are likely to result if the bill is enacted.
