Strict
Drunk Driving Laws - "Keeping Alaskans safe on our
highways is a top priority of my
administration. I'm pleased to report highway fatalities in Alaska are
down this year. Since July 28, Alaska has recorded 34 fatalities for
the entire year of 2008, and that number is below
the decade-average of 46 at this point in the calendar year. Strict
enforcement of laws regulating drunk driving, reckless driving and
seatbelt use have contributed to this positive news." - Alaska Governor's Office: August

Prevent
giving of alcohol to minors - "The
Governor also signed House Bill 118, sponsored by Representative
Kevin Meyer. The bill closes a gap in statute by making it a
non-criminal violation to permit underage people to possess alcohol in
your home. Under current law (AS 04.16.050), a parent who allows their
own child to possess alcohol is not subject to the
violation because they are allowed to provide alcohol to their
children. Under HB 118 however, a person throwing a party where an
underage person possesses alcohol, even if they were not responsible
for providing the alcohol, would face a $500 fine." - Alaska Governor's Office: Press
