MCC follows Nebraska state law which states that it is a violation for any person to consume alcoholic liquors in the public streets, alleys, parking areas, roads or highways; or inside vehicles while upon the public streets, alleys, parking areas, roads or highways; or upon property owned by the state or any governmental subdivision thereof, unless authorized by the governing bodies having jurisdiction over such properties. The above types of off-campus violations are also considered violations of the MCC Student Code of Conduct and can result in sanctions on-campus in addition to legal consequences.

On
August 30, 2015, Nebraska’s Good Samaritan law will take effect. This policy
encourages individuals to call 911 for medical help when witnessing or
experiencing acute alcohol intoxication without the fear of prosecution for
minor in possession. The policy provides limited immunity for both the caller and
the acutely intoxicated person. The Good Samaritan law is essential to ensuring
that people are able to stay alive and receive help when they are in trouble.
Please encourage your son or daughter to become familiar with the new law and
take swift action whenever they are concerned about another person’s
well-being.
