Establishes provisions relating to the liability of a social host
HB 3435 limits social host liability for injuries caused by guests who consumed alcohol at their home. It allows lawsuits only if a host willfully provided alcohol to someone visibly intoxicated (e.g., slurring speech, unsteady), created an unreasonable risk of harm (like allowing driving), and the injury resulted from the guest’s vehicle accident. The bill uses blood alcohol concentration (BAC) as evidence: under 0.10% BAC creates a strong presumption the guest wasn’t visibly intoxicated, while 0.10-0.15% BAC requires proof to overcome that presumption. This law applies solely to incidents involving adults aged 21+ and is the exclusive legal remedy for such injuries.
