Med. amnesty bill close to passing

March 13, 2012

A bill inspired by MSU’s undergraduate student government for underage drinking is closer to becoming law after passing in a state Senate committee Monday.

The bill, which would provide legal amnesty to minors who turn themselves or a friend in for medical help for being too drunk, moved quickly in the House with a large bipartisan majority before making its way to the Senate. It so far appears to be moving just as easily.

“We’re happy things are moving so quickly,” said Aaron Letzeiser, ASMSU director of governmental affairs.
