CURRENT BILL SUMMARY
SB 322 - Currently, Section 311.110, RSMo, states that any person, except a parent or guardian, who procures for, sells, gives away, or otherwise supplies alcohol to minor is guilty of a misdemeanor.
In addition to the current provisions, this act prohibits any owner, occupant, or other person or legal entity with a lawful right to the use and enjoyment of any property from knowingly allowing a minor to drink or knowingly failing to stop a minor from drinking on such property, unless the person is the minor's parent or guardian. Any person who violates this provision is guilty of a Class B misdemeanor.
This act provides a defense to prosecution for licensed retailers, who sold to a minor, with a reasonable belief that the person was 21 because the minor presented a identification card containing a photography and purporting to establish that such individual was 21 years of age.
This act is similar to certain provisions in HCS/SS/SCS/SBs 37 et al. (2005) & SS/SCS/HCS/HB 972 (2005) & HCS/SS/SB 402 (2005).
