S.B. 759: COMMITTEE SUMMARY - CAMPUS POLICE: ALCOHOL OFFENSES



Senate Bill 759 (as introduced 10-16-97)

Sponsor: Senator Jon Cisky

Committee: Judiciary


Date Completed: 10-30-97


CONTENT


The bill would amend the Michigan Liquor Control Act to authorize college campus police to enforce the Act and rules promulgated by the Liquor Control Commission (LCC). That authority is currently granted to county sheriffs and their deputies, local police officers, members of the State Police, and inspectors of the LCC. The bill would add to that list officers of a State university or community college.


In addition, the Act provides that a county sheriff or deputy, a local police officer, a State Police officer, or an LCC inspector who witnesses a violation involving alcohol purchase, consumption, or possession by a person under 21 years of age may stop and detain that person to obtain identification, seize the alcohol, and issue an appearance ticket. The bill would include officers of a State university or community college in that authorization.
