HB 923 Mississippi House · 2025 Regular Session

Alcoholic beverages; revise certain provisions relating to sales to persons under the age of 21.

HB 923 requires businesses licensed to sell alcohol (like bars and restaurants) to use a third-party age-verification app after a third violation of selling to minors within 12 months. The app must meet at least 85% national accuracy standards and be used on premises to confirm customers are 21 or older. This adds to existing penalties, including fines, permit suspensions, or revocation for repeat offenses. The bill directly affects licensed alcohol sellers with multiple underage sale violations, aiming to prevent underage access through mandatory technology verification. It does not change penalties for minors or other aspects of the law.
