Remember the Social Host law

As we roll into the Holiday season, where college kids will be home, and high school/middle school kids will be out of school for a few days, we want to remind everyone of South Dakota’s Social Host law. It provides a penalty (up to $2,000) if you knowingly host an alcohol party for minors - whether its at your residence, or a hotel room, or anywhere that you are in charge of. So please, keep kids safe, and let me know - early on - that you will not condone or be a party to underage drinking. Keep the Holidays merry and bright, for now, and for the future!
