02:18 PM -- Senate Bill 06-122 - Concerning Adolescent Substance Abuse Prevention

Representative Weissmann, prime sponsor, explained that the bill creates the Adolescent Substance Abuse Prevention and Treatment Fund to consist of revenue from surcharges imposed on persons convicted of certain underage drinking crimes. Moneys in the fund are to be appropriated by the General Assembly to the Division of Alcohol and Drug Abuse in the Department of Human Services for adolescent substance abuse prevention and treatment programs. The bill establishes a $25 surcharge on criminal convictions for certain underage drinking crimes, raising an estimated $55,978 in FY 2006-07 and $88,290 per year thereafter. All revenue would be credited to the newly-created Adolescent Substance Abuse Prevention and Treatment Fund.

After a brief committee discussion, Representative Vigil, Chairman, placed the bill on the table for action.
