The proposed bill seeks to amend section 4-301 of the Arizona Revised Statutes concerning liquor liability. Under current law, individuals who are not licensees or employees of licensees are not held liable for damages resulting from the serving of spirituous liquor to individuals who are of legal drinking age.
The bill introduces a specific insertion that clarifies the language regarding the legal drinking age by stating "at least" before the existing phrase "the legal drinking age." This change aims to reinforce the requirement that liability protections apply only when the individual served is at least of legal drinking age, thereby maintaining the current legal framework while enhancing clarity.
