HB 1082 Mississippi House · 2026 Regular Session

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

HB 1082 amends Mississippi law to address repeated sales of alcohol to people under 21. It requires businesses with alcohol licenses (like bars or restaurants) to use a third-party age-verification app with at least 85% accuracy after their third or subsequent violation within 12 months. The app must be used on licensed premises to confirm customers are 21 or older before selling alcohol, in addition to existing fines and license suspensions. This policy change adds a new administrative tool for enforcement, targeting repeat offenders without altering penalties for first or second violations.
