Current through the 2024 Regular Session.
Section 6-5-71.1 - Legislative intent

It is the intent of the Legislature in enacting Act 2023-25 to provide a new standard of liability for damages resulting from intoxication due to alcoholic beverages. To the extent that McIsaac v. Monte Carlo Club, Inc., 587 So. 2d 320 (Ala. 1991), enunciated a strict liability standard, it is the intent of the Legislature to repeal that standard and replace it with the new standard provided in Act 2023-25. It is not the intent of the Legislature for any provision of Act 2023-25 to alter or amend Section 6-5-70 or 6-5-72, nor is it the intent of the Legislature to broaden liability to social hosts for serving alcoholic beverages to an individual 21 years of age or older.
