A national not-for-profit funded by America’s leading distillers, The Century Council honored Congresswoman Lucille Roybal-Allard (CA-34) with its 2007 award for her “outstanding commitment to fight drunk driving and underage drinking.” The congresswoman (shown holding the award next to Century Council Chair Susan Molinari) is the author of a new law called, “The STOP (Sober Truth on Preventing) Underage Drinking Act.” The STOP Act makes permanent an Ad Council national media campaign directed at parents that started in 2005. The measure coordinates all federal programs and research initiatives on underage drinking. The STOP Act also provides grants to institutions of higher education, states and non-profit organizations to combat underage drinking in communities. In addition, the STOP Act supports crucial research on the health effects of underage drinking and requires the federal government to produce an annual status report on underage drinking in our country.
