(A) It shall be unlawful for any parent or person to knowingly host, either on premises owned or controlled by the parent or person, or at any public place, or in any conveyance, a social event where the parent or person knows, or reasonably should know, that underage persons are in possession of, or are consuming, illicit drugs or alcoholic beverages.
(B) It shall be unlawful for any parent or person to otherwise knowingly enable, permit, or authorize the consumption or possession of illicit drugs, or alcoholic beverages by underage persons, at a social event either on any premises of the parent or person, in any conveyance, or at any public place.
(C) A parent or person shall not be in violation of this subchapter if that parent or person takes reasonable steps with respect to the possession or consumption of illicit drugs or alcoholic beverages by underage persons. Nor shall it be a violation of this subchapter if the consumption of alcoholic beverages occurs exclusively between an underage person and his or her parent as otherwise permitted by the laws of this state. Nor shall it be a violation of this subchapter if the parent or person terminates, or otherwise ends, the social event once the parent or person becomes aware that underage persons are in possession of, or are consuming, alcoholic beverages or illicit drugs.
