03:37 PM -- House Bill 06-1296 - Concerning Penalties for Violations of Illegal Possession of Alcohol by Underage Persons.

Representative Penry, prime sponsor, explained that House Bill 06-1296, increases penalties for illegal possession or consumption of alcohol by a minor, removing a court's discretion to order certain penalties such as community service and allowing the Department of Revenue to administratively revoke a minor's driver's license for a second or subsequent offense prior to conviction in a court of law. It requires a minor convicted of illegally possessing or consuming alcohol to pay a $25 surcharge which would be credited to the newly-created Administrative Hearing Fund. First-time offenders would be eligible to apply for a probationary license.

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