“Party Your Life Away” A Mannequin Challenge
5C, with the help of community partners, created a message to the
community to remember how important decisions can be when it comes to
alcohol, parties, and driving. If you haven’t seen the video, you can find it on
5C’s YouTube Channel or by clicking HERE.
Great opportunity to pair with awareness weeks or discussions at school!
Social Host Team Update:
This group is addressing the issue of
underage parties at homes and
private lands. A poll of community
members was conducted on the
current social host law.
Only 27 of the 52 (52%) people polled
know what the social host law is.
25% of the people polled felt the fine
needs to be more than the current
state level.
The poll showed that more publicity or
knowledge of the law needs to be
made available to the public. It also
shows that the people that are aware
of the law, do want to hold others
accountable with a stricter fine for
those who supply a location for
underage drinking.
28-30% of those answering yes, the
fine is appropriate, feel it needs to be
higher or stricter. This shows that
there is support in the county to have
a stricter ordinance regarding Social
Host Law.
Over the coming months, 5C will
continue to share information about
the current law to increase knowledge
and gain feedback. The coalition is
still looking into a local ordinance that
would address higher fines as it was
identified in the polls.
If you would like to be a part of this
team, contact us to learn more.
Iowa’s Social Host Law prohibits all owners, lessees and persons in control over any property which is
not a licensed premises from knowingly permitting anyone under the age of 18 from consuming or possessing alcoholic liquor, wine or beer on the
property.
Violators are subject to a fine of $200 + $70 surcharge + court costs. Fines for second or
subsequent offenses are $500 + $175 surcharge + court costs.
Other financial consequences may include increased property insurance, or loss of property insurance. You may
want to think about the cost to you before allowing underage persons to drink on your property.
5C is teaming up with local law enforcement to
support water patrols, increase signage, and
promote safe travels on the rivers this summer.
We are in the process of designing signs for river
access points to increase knowledge about the
current BWI law, as well as possession of alcohol or
drugs underage.
