In Plain English
One in 4 high school juniors in the school district reports using alcohol or drugs annually. The proposed social host law makes it illegal for adults to allow underage drinking or drug use at their homes or properties. If approved, hosts face penalties when minors consume alcohol or drugs on their premises.
