New Underage Drinking Law Takes Effect Today | Fairfax DUI Lawyer
No, they’re not changing the drinking age. In a nutshell: restrictions and penalties are getting tougher.
An underage person who commits a second offense of possession of alcohol can lose their driver’s license for up to a year, whether or not they’d been driving.
Currently, they would only be able to lose their license for up to six months.
Another change: courts will no longer be able to issue a restricted driver’s license to drive to and from school for any minor convicted of a DUI while under the age of 18.
These are just 2 of almost 900 laws which go into effect today.
