Bill Summary

The act requires state and local liquor licensing authorities to consider aggravating and mitigating factors to be considered when assessing penalties for violation of liquor laws, no only when persons under 21 years of age are used to investigate the sale of liquor to underage persons but also when licensees' employees violate certain provisions. The act also requires state and local liquor licensing authorities to consider it a mitigating factor for certain violations, including sales to minors, sales to visibly intoxicated patrons, and other violations approved by rule of the state licensing authority, if a licensee meets the requirements of a 'responsible vendor' as defined by law.
