BILL NUMBER:S2334 TITLE OF BILL: An act to amend the general obligations law, in relation to compensation for injury caused by the illegal sale of alcoholic beverages to a person under the age of twenty-one years PURPOSE OR GENERAL IDEA OF BILL: Extends dram shop liability to cover persons who knowingly sell numerous false identifications to persons less than 21 years of age. SUMMARY OF SPECIFIC PROVISIONS: Section 1: adds a new paragraph (b) to section 11-100(1) of the General Obligations Law providing that any third party injured as the result of the intoxication or impairment of ability of any person under the age of 21 years shall have a right of action against any person or entity that produced or sold more than ten false identifications to minors which were used to obtain or procure alcoholic beverages that led to the intoxication of the individual causing the injury. Under proposed section 11-100 (1) (b), specific knowledge by the producer and seller of the fake identification that the minor procured alcoholic beverages with the identification is not necessary, as it is reasonably expected that when an identification is sold misrepresenting a minor's age, it could be used for illegal purposes.
