The bill makes it illegal for people to drink alcohol while carrying. Anyone caught would have the permit revoked for five years, plus face up to two years in prison and a $2,000 fine.
I really hope this passes as I will be able to carry more frequently. I am limited now since almost every restaurant serves at least beer and we almost always stop somewhere to eat when we are out. So if I am carrying I need to leave it in the car, which I don't like doing, when we eat.
They already have a sign law, with specific size and placement requirements for them to be valid, so that's no big deal.
