Bill Summary

So much of the recommendations of the Department of the State Treasurer (House, No. 23) as relates to civil violations of certain alcoholic beverage laws. Consumer Protection and Professional Licensure.

AI Summary

This bill allows the state's Alcoholic Beverages Control Commission (ABCC) to issue civil citations, rather than criminal charges, for certain violations of the state's alcoholic beverage laws, such as serving alcohol to minors. The civil citations will be for the same amount as the criminal fines, and individuals can appeal the citations to the ABCC. If the citations are not paid within the required timeframe, the ABCC can then pursue criminal charges or initiate a civil action in district court. The bill aims to provide an alternative enforcement mechanism for these violations.
