1. Every spouse, child, parent, guardian, employer, or other individual who is injured by 
any obviously intoxicated individual has a claim for relief for fault under section 
32-03.2-02 against any person who knowingly disposes, sells, barters, or gives away 
alcoholic beverages to an individual under twenty -one years of age or to an 
incompetent or an obviously intoxicated individual, and if death ensues, the survivors 
of the decedent are entitled to damages defined in section 32-21-02. If a retail licensee 
is found liable under this section and exemplary damages are sought, the finder of fact 
may consider as a mitigating factor that the licensee provided to an employee alcohol 
server training that addressed intoxication, drunk driving, and underage drinking.
2. If a retail licensee provided to an employee alcohol server training that addresses 
intoxication, drunk driving, and underage drinking, a person with a claim for relief 
under this section may not use the fact that the retail licensee provided this training to 
prove culpability.
3. A claim for relief under this section may not be had on behalf of the intoxicated 
individual nor on behalf of the intoxicated individual's estate or personal 
representatives, nor may a claim for relief be had on behalf of an adult passenger in 
an automobile driven by an intoxicated individual or on behalf of the passenger's 
estate or personal representatives.
