Toward Responsible Use of Substances Today
(TRUST) Coalition Agenda
April 21, 2005

Present: Sister Cynthia Hruby and Kathy Mohlfeld.

LB 592-this the Dram Shop and Social Host Liability proposal introduced by Senator Kruse and 13 other senators. The bill would provide for civil liability for retailers and other adults who would provide alcohol to a minor or visibly intoxicated person who later causes harm to a third party. Nebraska is one of 18 states that do not have some form of social host liability. This bill did not make it out of committee, but it is expected to be reintroduced next year.
