SD 884 Massachusetts Senate · 193rd Legislature (2023-2024)

An Act relative to the types of identification allowed to purchase alcohol

This bill amends Massachusetts law to allow individuals to use a Global Entry card as valid identification when purchasing alcohol. Currently, the state accepts various forms of ID, including military cards, but this legislation specifically adds the Global Entry card to that list of acceptable documents. The change directly affects alcohol retailers and customers who possess this specific federal border protection card but may not have other standard forms of identification. By updating the legal text, the bill clarifies that this card is sufficient proof of age and identity for alcohol transactions.
