"Michigan is the latest state to legislate 'keg tagging,' making it one of 32 states to implement this anti-underage drinking strategy.
'Keg tagging' requires that when kegs are sold, buyers must show identification and fill out a form writing in their names and addresses. The intent of the tagging law is to hold adults accountable for providing alcohol to minors. If law enforcement finds a tagged keg at a party where minors are drinking, they can track it back to the purchaser, who may then face civil or criminal penalties.
A law introduced by Michigan’s Sen. Alan Sanborn in 2009 and passed late last year, would subject a retailer to an administrative fine of not more than $50 for failing to attach an identification tag to a keg, intentionally failing to complete the required receipt, or failing to obtain the purchaser’s signature on the receipt. A person who was not licensed as a retailer or wholesaler by the commission and who removed the attached identification tag, allowed the removal of the tag from a keg he or she had purchased, and/or who provided false information in the purchase of a beer keg would be guilty of a misdemeanor punishable by imprisonment for not more than 93 days or a fine of not more than $500, or both."
