Senator Jake Corman says he will resubmit his bill to allow municipalities that include all or part of a university or college to impose a $100 fee for alcohol-related offenses to help finance local prevention programs.
The Centre County Republican sponsored a new law that will boost the maximum fine for underage drinking from $300 to $500 and double the fine for subsequent offenses to $1,000.
The law takes effect on December 24th.Corman says the new law is designed to help college communities like State College pay for the cost of prosecuting drinking-related crimes and discourage underage drinking.
