HB 240 -- Providing Alcohol to Minors

Co-Sponsors:  Barnitz, Portwood, Jetton, Hampton, Kuessner, Kelly
(144), Ransdall, Selby

Currently, selling or providing alcohol to a person under the age
of 21, a person who is intoxicated, or a person who is a habitual
drunkard is an unclassified misdemeanor offense.  This bill makes
selling or providing alcohol to these persons a class A
misdemeanor.  Providing alcohol to a person under the age of 21
is a class D felony if the consumption of alcohol results in any
person being seriously physically injured or killed.  The bill
also removes the existing exemption for parents or guardians who
purchase or provide alcohol to the specified individuals.
