Bill Summary
Relative to acceptance of certain types of identification to purchase alcohol in Massachusetts
AI Summary
This bill expands the types of identification that can be used to purchase alcohol in Massachusetts. Specifically, it allows the use of a valid driver's license from another state or a Global Entry card issued by the U.S. Customs and Border Protection office, in addition to the forms of identification already permitted, such as a Massachusetts liquor purchase identification card or a Massachusetts driver's license. The bill also simplifies the language in the existing law by replacing a list of specific identification types with the broader phrase "identification permitted by this section."
