SB7, which establishes civil liability for certain acts involving the use of controlled substances and the consumption of alcoholic beverages, was originally heard on March 8, in the Senate Committee on Judiciary. The bill was amended and do passed as amended out of the committee that day, with the amendment changing the word “unlawfully” to “knowingly” when establishing civil liability for an individual who knowingly serves or sells a controlled substance to another individual or minor in certain circumstances. On Wednesday, April 18, the bill passed the full Senate as amended by a vote of 19 to 2. The association is monitoring this bill with concern that it could be amended to include restaurants, bars and nightclubs.

We really need to be vigilant on this one. Senator Weiner has said that she is not interested in including the business sector in this but someone could amend it. I know our lobbyists are on the watch for this. With all the other anti business things going on, we don't need some Nevada version of Dram Shop laws. Thanks
