Description
Persons under age 21 driving after consuming alcohol. Eliminates the element that the underlying consumption of alcohol by a person under the age of 21 must have been illegal in order to be guilty of the offense of a person under the age of 21 operating a motor vehicle after consuming alcohol. The bill provides, instead, that such person shall have an affirmative defense to the offense if such person's consumption of alcohol was lawful. Read the Bill »
