The Senate approved the measure, sponsored by Sen. Patrick O'Malley, R-Palos Park, that would make business owners liable for damages as a result of a minor's injuring or killing someone while high or intoxicated. "This legislation is to go after businesses where they conduct parties or watch these activities go on," he said. The measure was approved 57-0 and it now moves to the House. - --- MAP posted-by: Keith Brilhart
