[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]It's a criminal citation. MoCo police absolutely cites people for this. Furnishing alcohol to one minor carries a $2,500 fine. Furnishing alcohol to each subsequent minor carries a fine of $5,000 each. So if that party had five kids drinking, that's $22,500 in fines.

It use to just be $2500 .. But parents in Potomac paid that without hesitation so the new law above was crested.[/quote]

Really? A state law was changed just because of Potomac?[/quote]

Yes. [/quote]

Could you please provide some evidence to support your assertion?[/quote]

8:46 again, who first questioned it. Is used to work for the General Assembly and its unusual to state-wide legislation because of one area. Not impossible, but unusual.  The bill that increased the fine was SB 166 in 2008. From $1,000 to $2,500 for the first offense and $1,500 to $5,000 for each subsequent offense. There were six sponsors of the bill, but none was from Montgomery County.  There were about 30 sponsors in the cross filed House bill, which does include a few MoCo delegates, but not all. It certainly was not a Montgomery County Delegation bill.

A task force report came out the next year, recommending that the penalty be changed from civil to criminal and include jail time, and legislation was introduced in 2009, but that portion did not pass. [/quote]
