Alcohol Policy Classification System (Enhanced)

The Alcohol Policy Classification System (APCS) is a tool for organizing and retrieving bills and regulations in APIS' Enacted Bills and Adopted Regulations. All bills and regulations are assigned by APIS Staff to:

One or more alcohol policy areas (that are organized into nine broad categories), and
When applicable, one or more cross-cutting dimensions (that are organized into five broad categories).
The Enacted Bills and Adopted Regulations section may be searched by these alcohol policy areas and cross-cutting dimensions. Doing so will help ensure that your search yields bills and regulations that address area(s) and/or dimension(s) of interest to you—even if the language of bills/regulations that address these area(s) or dimension(s) varies across States or over time.
Major categories and subcategories of the APCS are listed immediately below. Click here to return to the condensed version of the Alcohol Policy Classification System.
