A law enforcement agency, upon determining that a person less than 18 years of age who is not emancipated pursuant to Public Act No. 293 of 1966 (MCL 722.1 et seq.) allegedly consumed, possessed, purchased, or attempted to consume, possess or purchase alcoholic liquor in violation of subsection 34-218(a) shall notify the parent or parents, custodian or guardian of the person as to the nature of the violation if the name of a parent, guardian or custodian is reasonably ascertainable by the law enforcement agency. The notice required by this subsection shall be made not later than 48 hours after the law enforcement agency determines that the person who allegedly violated section 34-218(a) is less than 18 years of age and not emancipated pursuant to Public Act No. 293 of 1966 (MCL 722.1 et seq.). The notice may be made by any means reasonably calculated to give prompt actual notice including, but not limited to, notice in person, by telephone or by first-class mail. If a person less than 17 years of age is incarcerated for violating section 34-218(a), his parents or legal guardian shall be notified immediately as provided in this section.
