Bill Summary

For legislation relative to identification for the purchase of alcoholic beverages; the petition of Paul McMurtry and others relative to the identification required for the purchase of alcoholic beverages; and the petition of Elizabeth A. Poirier relative to the use of magnetic identification card reader machines when purchasing alcohol, reports recommending that the accompanying bill (Senate, No. 2567) ought to pass.

AI Summary

This bill amends the existing law in Massachusetts to expand the acceptable forms of identification for the purchase of alcoholic beverages. The bill allows a valid driver's license issued by another state, in addition to the currently accepted forms of identification, such as a liquor purchase identification card or a Massachusetts motor vehicle license. The bill also simplifies the language in the existing law by replacing the specific references to the acceptable forms of identification with the more general phrase "identification permitted by this section."
