HB 214 - CIVIL ACTION AGAINST MINORS IN BARS Number 2021 CHAIR ROKEBERG announced that the final order of business would be HOUSE BILL NO. 214, "An Act relating to a civil action against a person under 21 years of age who enters premises where alcohol is sold or consumed." [Before the committee was CSHB 214(L&C).] Number 2009 REPRESENTATIVE MEYER, as the sponsor of HB 214, explained that there is an Anchorage ordinance that allows bars to prosecute underage minors who attempt to purchase alcohol with a fake ID. Many of the bars, including Chilkoot Charlie's and the Brown Jug, have used this effectively to prohibit underage people from attempting to enter a bar. He emphasized that the program is optional. The only requirement for the establishment is to place a sign saying that an underage individual would be prosecuted. [The bill packet] contains letters of support from the Anchorage Restaurant and Beverage Association (ARBA), Chilkoot Charlie's, and the Brown Jug. This legislation would make the program statewide in order to deter underage drinking. CHAIR ROKEBERG asked if anyone wished to testify on HB 214. There being no one, the public testimony portion of HB 214 was closed. Chair Rokeberg inquired as to the wishes of the committee. Number 1965 REPRESENTATIVE BERKOWITZ moved to report CSHB 214(L&C) out of committee with individual recommendations and the accompanying fiscal notes. There being no objection, CSHB 214(L&C) was reported from the House Judiciary Standing Committee.
