Legislative News
- July, 2011
HB 1407 – Underage Drinking and Driving (18.2-266-1) – If you are under 21 and have a blood alcohol content of .02 or higher, the minimum penalty is now a $500.00 or higher fine or 50 hours of community service. Additionally, the driver’s license of the person convicted will be suspended for 1 year. Also, this has moved from a class 2 misdemeanor to a class 1 misdemeanor (which brings it in line with underage possession).
HB 1496 - Provide Alcohol to Under Age (4.1-306) – Adds the language of “or has reason to know/believe” to A.1. of that section – there is no longer a requirement to prove absolute knowledge and it brings this section in line with the rest that say knew or had reason to know/believe.
