What’s in it
This bill requires the director of revenue to establish a process to allow individuals to voluntarily exclude themselves from alcoholic beverage purchases from retail alcohol licensees.4(22)). The bill provides that an initial voluntary exclusion request is applied for a period of five years or life and any subsequent request following any five-year period is applied for a period of five years or life. The bill requires retail alcohol licensees to receive electronic access to names, social security numbers, and information regarding voluntarily excluded persons in a manner that keeps the information confidential unless legally required to be disclosed.
Read the full explanation
A person who has requested to be excluded from alcoholic beverages sales must be provided information from the department of health and human services on the comprehensive substance use disorder program, including treatment and prevention programs. The state and retail alcohol licensees are not liable for any claim that may arise from this process and the department of revenue is prohibited from initiating administrative action against or imposing penalties on a licensee who voluntarily discloses a sale to an excluded person.
