Establishes the offense of possession of an open alcoholic beverage container in a motor vehicle
This bill creates a new offense for possessing an open alcoholic beverage container in a motor vehicle's passenger area on public roads. If passed, individuals caught with an open container would receive an infraction, which would not appear on their Department of Revenue records. The bill defines "open alcoholic beverage container" and "passenger area" and exempts passengers in vehicles for hire or in the living quarters of a motor home.
