Sanford signs underage drinking bill

Governor Mark Sanford signed a bill aimed at cracking down on youth's access to alcohol.

The bill Sanford signed yesterday, S.213, increases fines and penalties for underage-drinking offenses. The bill will:
---Make it easier for police to find out who bought kegs at parties where underage drinking occurred
---Allow minors to help police by participating in stings of bars and convenience stores
---Require repeat DUI offenders to pay for an ignition interlock system to be installed in their cars.

Be careful...I can see this one causing some problems in columbia. Police visiting Greens to see who bought the keg at the party they just busted, etc....should be fun for our lawyer friends..............thoughts?
