What this bill does

Plain-language analysis by the nonpartisan Legislative Reference Bureau

Under current law, with certain exceptions, a person who has not reached 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. Current law prohibits an adult

from knowingly permitting or failing to take action to prevent the illegal

consumption of alcohol beverages by an underage person on "premises" owned by the

adult or under the adult's control. "Premises" is defined as the area described in a

license or permit for the sale of alcohol beverages.

This bill prohibits an adult from knowingly permitting or failing to take action

to prevent the illegal consumption of alcohol beverages by an underage person on

property owned and occupied by the adult or occupied by the adult and under the

adult's control. This prohibition applies regardless of whether the property is

covered by an alcohol beverages license or permit.
