Laws Prohibiting Alcohol Sales to Intoxicated Persons. Legal Research Report

摘要

In September 2006, the National Highway Traffic Safety Administration funded the Pacific Institute for Research and Evaluation to conduct legal research on State statutes and regulations that pertain to alcohol sales and/or service to intoxicated people to reduce injuries and fatalities stemming from alcohol impaired driving. The research was to explore the variation in State sales to intoxicated people (SIP) laws and include examination of case law to assess how statutory language has been interpreted in court cases. The research was also to include a qualitative component that collected data on key issues specific to SIP law enforcement and adjudication practices. This report summarizes the findings of this research.
