Summary
Persons under age 21 driving after consuming alcohol. Eliminates the element that the underlying consumption of alcohol by a person under the age of 21 must have been illegal in order to be guilty of the offense of a person under the age of 21 operating a motor vehicle after consuming alcohol. The bill provides, instead, that such person shall have an affirmative defense to the offense if such person's consumption of alcohol was lawful.
