Cobb County Commissioners unanimously approved a social host/teen party ordinance this week in efforts to stem underage drinking.
The new ordinance provides penalties for hosting gatherings where the unlawful underage drinking occurs. It complements the state's current law prohibiting furnishing alcohol to minors. Penalty for the first offense was set at $150; second and subsequent offenses will be $500.
Cobb joins 24 other states who have implemented similar ordinances.
