SUMMARY AS PASSED: (all summaries)

Underage purchasing or possessing alcoholic beverages; fake identification; penalty. Provides that when any person who has not previously been convicted of underaged possession of alcoholic beverages in Virginia or any other state is so convicted, the court may, if the facts found by the court would justify a finding of guilt of underage possession of alcohol, without entering a judgment of guilt and with the consent of the accused, defer further proceedings and place him on probation subject to appropriate conditions that may include the imposition of driver's license suspension and restricted license. The bill provides further that in all such cases, the court shall require the accused to enter a treatment or education program or both, if available, that in the opinion of the court best suits the needs of the accused. Upon violation of a condition, the court may enter an adjudication of guilt and proceed as otherwise provided.
