A Senate panel approved a bill Thursday that would create new penalties for underage alcohol possession over the complaints of advocates who said the shift would send more young people into the criminal justice system.
The bill, approved by the Senate Judiciary Committee in a 9-2 vote, would subject individuals under the age of 21 found to possess alcohol to a $50 fine and a complaint summons, the equivalent of a disorderly persons offense.
Legislators who supported the bill said the change is needed to address parties in Jersey Shore towns that local officials have decried as chaotic and disruptive, and to provide some measure of enforcement for underage users who flout drinking laws.

Has anyone noticed how the drug laws are obeyed? Remember Prohibition? Wonder why the pot laws were changed?
Argh!
The politicians and bureaucrats in the Pepuls Republik of Nu Jerzee are examples of stupidity!
