TITLE 18--CRIMES AND CRIMINAL PROCEDURE
PART I--CRIMES
CHAPTER 53--INDIANS
Sec. 1155. Intoxicants dispensed on school site
Whoever, on any tract of land in the former Indian country upon
which is located any Indian school maintained by or under the
supervision of the United States, manufactures, sells, gives away, or in
any manner, or by any means furnishes to anyone, either for himself or
another, any vinous, malt, or fermented liquors, or any other
intoxicating drinks of any kind whatsoever, except for scientific,
sacramental, medicinal or mechanical purposes, whether medicated or not,
or who carries, or in any manner has carried, into such area any such
liquors or drinks, or who shall be interested in such manufacture, sale,
giving away, furnishing to anyone, or carrying into such area any of
such liquors or drinks, shall be fined under this title or imprisoned
not more than five years, or both.
(June 25, 1948, ch. 645, 62 Stat. 758; Pub. L. 103-322, title XXXIII,
Sec. 330016(1)(G), Sept. 13, 1994, 108 Stat. 2147.)
Historical and Revision Notes
Based on sections 241a, 244a, of title 25, U.S.C., 1940 ed., Indians
(Mar. 1, 1895, ch. 145, Sec. 8, 28 Stat. 697; Mar. 5, 1934, ch. 43, 48
Stat. 396.)
Section consolidates sections 241a and 244a of title 25, U.S.C.,
1940 ed., Indians. The effect of section 244a of said title in repealing
section 241a of said title, except as to lands upon which Indian schools
are maintained, was to continue prohibiting the dispensing of liquor in
such areas.
The words ``upon conviction thereof'' were omitted as unnecessary,
since punishment cannot be imposed until a conviction is secured.
The minimum punishment provision was omitted to conform to the
policy adopted in revision of the 1909 Criminal Code.
Mandatory punishment provision was rephrased in the alternative.
The exception of intoxicating liquor for scientific, sacramental,
medicinal or mechanical purposes was inserted for the same reason that
makes this exception appropriate to section 1262 of this title.
Minor changes were made in phraseology.
Amendments
1994--Pub. L. 103-322 substituted ``fined under this title'' for
``fined not more than $500''.
