Passed in the Senate 34 to 0 (details)

To revise details of the notification sent for failing to make a required court appearance for a first-time "minor in possession" of alcohol violation. The bill would change the notice to make it the same as for other civil infractions, instead of the notice sent for criminal misdemeanors.
