February 2004: Omaha, Nebraska

The City Council of Omaha, Nebraska adopted a resolution in February 2004 that asked Nebraska's federal, state, and local government leaders and relevant organizations to support the findings of "Reducing Underage Drinking: A Collective Responsibility," a report from the National Research Council and Institute of Medicine of the National Academies. The Omaha resolution specifically charged Nebraska policymakers "in particular to take steps to protect youth from the harmful effects of overexposure to advertising and promotions for alcoholic beverages."
