West Virginia: law would bar alcohol sales to DUI drivers

Wines & Vines, May, 2005

West Virginians convicted on drunken driving charges would lose the right to purchase alcohol under a proposal endorsed by its House judiciary committee. It would allow county prosecutors to petition a circuit judge to bar anyone convicted of DUI from purchasing beer; wine or spirits. As introduced, the bill would have required the Alcohol Beverage Control Administration to send retailers monthly lists of everyone subject to a court order.

The committee removed the provision, leaving no mechanism for identifying offenders to retailers.
