2 provisions identified: 1 benefits, 0 costs, 1 mixed.

Alcoholic Beverage Commission gains subpoena powers

The Commission can investigate alcohol law violations, including crashes that involve alcohol. It can subpoena witnesses, information, and documents. It can also request police accident records under the new rule. This strengthens enforcement of state alcohol laws.

Alcoholic Beverage Commission gets crash records, keeps them confidential

Law enforcement must give the Commission accident records when it asks. Records can include people in the crash and who sold them alcohol. The Commission must keep these records confidential and cannot release them to the public. If used in a regulatory hearing, only the court and the parties can see them. The Commission must deny public requests and tell people to ask the police agency that created the record.
