AI Summary

This bill amends Section 34B of Chapter 138 of the General Laws to allow the use of an out-of-state license that has been validated by a magnetic identification card reader machine when purchasing alcohol, in addition to the currently accepted forms of identification, such as a liquor purchase identification card or a Massachusetts driver's license. The bill also replaces the specific references to the various forms of acceptable identification with a broader term "identification permitted by this section."
