The bill would also authorize a public service media campaign to increase adult awareness of the threat alcohol poses to their children, as well as increase research and data collection done at the Federal level on adolescent alcohol use and brain development. S. 408 was referred to the Senate Committee on Health, Education, Labor and Pensions (HELP) Committee.
