AN ACT REQUIRING DIGITAL AGE VERIFICATION BY PACKAGE STORE PERMITTEES.

HB 6485 requires package stores (businesses with permits to sell alcohol in packages) to digitally verify the age of customers using identification presented at the point of sale. Specifically, it mandates that store permittees use digital tools to confirm a customer is 21 years or older before selling alcohol. The bill directly affects package store operators by adding a new requirement for age verification beyond traditional ID checks. This policy change aims to prevent underage alcohol sales through standardized digital verification processes.
