HB 306 Alaska House · 34th Legislature (2025-2026)

An Act relating to civil liability of persons providing alcoholic beverages.

This bill changes when licensed bars and restaurants can be sued for injuries caused by patrons' intoxication. It generally protects establishments from civil liability unless they serve alcohol to someone under 21 without verifying age (via ID, liquor card, or driver's license) or knowingly serve drunk patrons after closing hours. The law specifically requires age verification for under-21 customers and sets clear limits on when serving drunk individuals or after hours constitutes negligence. These changes directly affect alcohol-serving businesses by reducing legal exposure for typical service scenarios.
