UNDERAGE FREQUENTING Keep underage persons out to the maximum extent possible Allowing underage patrons invites attempted consumption Allowing underage patrons invites conflict between servers and family and friends of the underage person MAPP Program

UNDERAGE FREQUENTING W.S (a) No person who has legally provided alcoholic liquor or malt beverage to any other person is liable for damages caused by the intoxication of the other person. Key term: LEGALLY Serving someone who is underage is NOT LEGAL. MAPP Program

UNDERAGE FREQUENTING W.S (d) For purposes of this section “licensee” is as defined in W.S (a)(viii) and includes the licensee’s employee or employees. If anyone employed by the licensee provides alcoholic liquor or malt beverage to an underage person and that underage person causes damage or death the licensee is responsible under the law. W.S (a) No longer applies. MAPP Program

VISIBLE INTOXICATION Statute was not unconstitutional. W.S did not infringe upon the fundamental right of access to the courts established by the Wyoming constitution or upon any other fundamental interest, including equal protection of the law, by creating a cause of action against persons who illegally sold or served alcohol to people who caused injuries, while not recognizing the same cause of action against persons who legally sold or served alcohol.
