Liquor: other; Identification allowed to verify age to purchase alcohol; expand. Amends 1998 PA 58 (MCL 436.1101 - 436.2303) by adding sec. 202.

HB 5122 expands the types of photo identification consumers can use to verify their age when purchasing or consuming alcohol in Michigan. The bill adds Section 202 to the Liquor Control Code, allowing any current government-issued photo ID - including driver's licenses, passports, military IDs, state ID cards, or student IDs from accredited institutions - to be accepted by retailers. This directly affects consumers seeking to buy alcohol and retailers who must verify age under the law. The change updates existing age verification requirements without altering alcohol sales rules or creating new restrictions.
