There are quite a few problems encountered when lowering the age
of legal adulthood.
Sen. Zeb Alley of Haywood County is finding that out.
Alley was responsible for getting the legislature to enact his bill to
grant majority to 18 year-olds as soon as they got the vote.
The bill will take effect within the next few days, after the final
touches are put to the 26th Amendment to the U.S. Constitution. The
Amendment was ratified last week, and lowers the voting age from 21
to 18.
Alley's bill was passed last week by the N.C. Senate, and was
formally adopted and signed last Thursday.
Because of Alley, teenagers can now begin to think about some other
matters besides their right to vote.
For example, 18 year-olds are now legally eligible to enter into
contracts, get credit cards, buy a car on time without their parent's
signature, buy and sell land, and sue and be sued.
In the meantime, Alley must straighten out the N.C. general statutes
dealing with age as a qualification. In order to accomplish this, he has
introduced an omnibus bill that would deal with these problems.
For instance, there is one section of the state laws that prohibit sale
of alcoholic beverages with more than 14 per cent alcohol and wines
and liquor over 28 proof to minors.
Literally read, that means the ABC stores can now begin to expect
some younger customers.
Alley has found, however, two more sections in the law that prohibit
sales of alcoholic beverages to anyone under the age of 2 1 .
One or the other has to be changed to eliminate confusion.
Alley said he plans to introduce a bill that would probably prohibit
sales to those under 18 rather than 21. This would conform with the
legal age for buying beer. f
Unless specific changes are made in the omnibus bill, the following
revisions are now made possible: ,
-Those 18 years and older no longer have the protection of the
Domestic Relations Court and must stand trial in the District Courts.
-Women over the age of 1 8 can now obtain an abortion without the
consent of their parents.
-Parents can no longer claim their children over the age of 18 as
dependents for tax purposes.
-Young people 18 and older no longer fall under the protection of
the laws dealing with the employment of minors.
Alley expects little trouble with his proposed changes, though he
does see some potential objection to the laws dealing with the sale of
alcohol.
The omnibus bill is currently being considered by the Senate
Committee on Courts and Judicial Districts.
