Bill Summary
An Act relating to prohibited conduct relating to drunken persons; and relating to civil liability of persons providing alcoholic beverages.
AI Summary
This bill modifies existing Alaska law regarding the provision of alcohol to intoxicated individuals and the civil liability associated with it. Specifically, it changes the standard for when a licensee, such as a bar or restaurant owner, can be held responsible for serving alcohol to a drunken person from "criminal negligence" to "knowingly," meaning they must be aware they are serving an intoxicated person. Additionally, the bill introduces a provision stating that an intoxicated person who causes injury due to their intoxication has no right to recover damages and is primarily responsible for those injuries. This change in liability applies to offenses occurring on or after the bill's effective date.
