For legislation to reduce the furnishing or procuring of alcohol to a minor by an adult. Consumer Protection and Professional Licensure.
AI Summary
This bill aims to reduce the furnishing or procuring of alcohol to minors by adults. It amends existing laws in Massachusetts to require that any conviction or admission of a violation for providing alcohol to a minor be reported to the state's motor vehicle registrar, who will then suspend the offender's driver's license for 60 days to 2 years. The bill also allows offenders to apply for a limited license for employment or education purposes during the suspension period, as well as the possibility of obtaining a new license after one year if they can demonstrate the causes of the violation have been addressed. The bill exempts those serving or distributing alcohol under specific sections of the existing law from these new provisions.
