Bill overview
This bill amends California law regarding the sale of alcohol to minors. It clarifies that the use of active age verification software or devices, when properly utilized to verify a purchaser’s age against a seemingly legitimate identification card, will be considered evidence in any prosecution against a licensee if the identification is bona fide and matches the customer’s appearance. This change aims to provide a defense for businesses using these verification methods.
