Catch Title:

Subject:
Increases
the types of acceptable forms of identification for the purchase of alcoholic

Summary/Major
Elements:

Under current law, a driver's license, selective service registration
card, military identification card or a passport may be used as acceptable forms
of identification to purchase alcoholic beverages in the state.

This bill increases and clarifies what forms of identification may be
accepted for the purchase of alcoholic beverages, to include a driver's license
issued by any state, territory or possession of the United States, the District
of Columbia, Puerto Rico, Canada or Mexico, or a permanent resident card issued
by the U.S. Citizen and Immigration Services.

The bill eliminates the selective service registration card as an
acceptable form of identification.
