SB50

Bill number: SB50

Sponsors: John Doyle, Mn., Zach Ritter, Wi., Savanna Bashore, Va.

Bill title: Alcohol Age Act of 2011

Purpose- Our bill is changing the drinking age to 18 because we believe that the current drinking age law of 21 has not done what it was designed to do. Once we turn 18 we can do several things, two of which are voting for the nation's leader and fighting to protect this nation's freedom, but we are not allowed the luxury of drinking. We feel once you are 18, you are mature enough to drink alcohol.

Eligibility- The Alcohol Age Act of 2011 will effect all U.S citizens 18 or older.

Terms and Benefits- Fiscal impact-
 * First, all U.S bar owners must use their business profit to pay for a form of advertisement of the new act.
 * Second, the federal government will add a very minimal 2% tax to all alcohol related items to use as money to promote knowledge of the new bill that has been passed.
 * Lastly, all new bouncers must take a week long class, paid by that minimal 2% increase, that teaches them to protect themselves and others in an alcohol rich environment. This will be mandatory for any person before they can get pay for a job of being a bouncer.
 * 16 conference rooms per state for the bouncers' lessons is $480,000 per year.
 * 16 private teachers to teach bouncers per state is $240,000 per year.
 * 40 bus advertisements in each state is $630,000.
 * $14,848,400 for billboard advertisement.
 * It costs $15,718,400 with a yearly cost of $720,000.
