HB 1883 -- Misrepresentation of Age to Purchase Alcohol

Sponsor:  Dixon

This bill creates a civil cause of action against any person
younger than 21 years of age who misrepresents his or her age to
obtain alcohol.  The owner of any establishment with a license to
sell alcohol can sue any minor who attempts to obtain alcohol
through misrepresentation of his or her age while on the owner's
premises.  If the owner prevails, the court must award damages in
the amount of $1,000, reasonable costs, and attorney fees.
