The proposed Social Host Ordinance, sponsored  by Missoula City Councilor Dave Strohmaier, would penalize those  who know people under the drinking age  either consumed alcohol or had it in their possession, and failed to prevent it. Strohmaier is proposing  first offenders be fined $500.

 Strohmaier is also proposing potential jail time for second  or subsequent  offences.
