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. See attached Project Extra Mile Op-Ed piece.
