HB 2733: Liquor to minors/liability

Imposing liability for furnishing liquor to minors.

Summary

  • When an adult over the age of 18 years furnishes liquor to a minor under the age of 21 years in a commercial, social, or any other setting, a civil cause of action is created whereby the adult may be held liable for the economic damages resulting from the minor's consumption. Violation of the statute that prohibits furnishing liquor to minors is negligence per se in such actions.
