OJJDP's State and Community Development Awards program was established to provide grants and cooperative agreements to organizations that OJJDP has selected for funds in prior years. This program has been authorized by an Act appropriating funds for the Department of Justice.
The goal of the Enforcing Underage Drinking Laws (EUDL) Program is to support and enhance State efforts, in cooperation with local jurisdictions, to enforce laws prohibiting the sale of alcoholic beverages, or the consumption of alcoholic beverages by minors. For the purpose of the program, minors are defined as individuals under 21 years of age.
South Carolina's Department of Alcohol and Other Drug Abuse Services (DAODAS) will utilize the Enforcing the Underage Drinking Laws (EUDL) Supplemental Block grant funding to support the following activities: 1) Statewide Alcohol Enforcement Team (AET) leadership summit; 2) The Palmetto Retailers Education Program (PREP); 3) Alcohol Retailer's Guide; and 4) Alcohol Enforcement Team (AET) Incentive Program. In its efforts to enforce underage drinking laws, South Carolina is committed to the following program goals: to strengthen local efforts to enforce underage drinking laws and raise awareness of the dangers of underage drinking; to prevent and reduce, through enhanced law enforcement efforts, youth access to alcohol and the availability of alcohol to underage youth; and to build capacity among local law enforcement, alcohol merchants and other key stakeholders to prevent and reduce underage drinking.
