Concerns penalties for possession or consumption of alcoholic beverages by underage persons.

This bill reinstates penalties for underage alcohol possession and consumption that were removed by previous legislation. For first offenses, law enforcement issues written warnings to underage individuals (with parental notification if under 18), for second offenses they provide information about community services, and for third or subsequent offenses they issue written reports and refer individuals to community services. The bill reinstates a minimum $500 fine for violations and a 6-month driving privilege suspension for offenses committed in vehicles. It removes previous restrictions on law enforcement actions, including prohibitions against requesting consent for searches and taking photos or fingerprints, and eliminates the requirement for the Attorney General to report on underage alcohol violations.
