Minor in Possession Laws and Ordinances

Tuesday, March 10, 2020
10:00 AM - 11:00 AM
This is a Webinar event.

Communities with local ordinances that address underage alcohol purchase, possession, and consumption provide law enforcement with an easier and more effective method of enforcement than relying solely on the State Statute. Additionally, the adoption of a local Minor is Possession ordinance sends a message to the community, and to youth, that youth alcohol use is unacceptable and can serve to change community norms regarding underage drinking. During this webinar participants will review the purpose of Minor in Possession laws and ordinances, review Statewide Illinois Youth Survey results, identify the various types of Minor in Possession Statutes, and learn how to engage appropriate partners in the process.
