Corrections and Clarifications

Changes to data presented in the comparison tables in the APIS Policy Topics section of the Web site are listed below.

Policy Topic	Jurisdiction	Changes
Underage Drinking: Consumption, Possession	New Jersey	Removed a statute that became effective on 6/28/2000 (N.J. Rev. Stat. § 40:48-1.2), because it is outside the scope of APIS coverage. The statute merely authorizes local governments to prohibit underage consumption and possession on private property, but does not eliminate the Private Location exception on a state-wide basis. The corrected coding also eliminated exceptions from 6/28/2000 forward for parent/guardian consent and presence, legal age spouse, and other, as these exceptions apply only to ordinances that the 6/28/2000 law authorizes municipalities to enact.
