Alcoholic beverages; revise certain provisions relating to sales to persons under the age of 21.
This bill amends Mississippi law to give the Commissioner of Revenue the authority to require licensed alcohol sellers to use a third-party age-verification app on their premises. The app must meet a minimum 85% accuracy standard and is intended to help staff determine if a customer is at least 21 years old before selling alcohol. The legislation also clarifies existing penalties for selling alcohol to minors and outlines specific fines and license suspensions for repeat violations. Additionally, it maintains current rules regarding penalties for underage possession and purchasing, including driver's license suspensions for those under 21 who are convicted of buying alcohol.
