Bill > HB0059

This bill amends laws related to identification verification, primarily focusing on the sale and purchase of alcoholic beverages and the designation of individuals as "interdicted persons." Key changes include requiring applicable licensees (bars, taverns, restaurants, etc.) to verify proof of age for individuals who appear 35 years old or younger before admitting them or selling them alcohol, and establishing an electronic verification program for such proof of age. It also mandates that state stores and package agencies (retailers of alcohol) require proof of age before selling any alcoholic product and, if a Utah driver's license or ID card is presented, verify that the individual is not an interdicted person. Furthermore, the bill clarifies penalties and procedures for driving under the influence (DUI) offenses, including the designation of offenders as interdicted persons and the surrender of their Utah driver's licenses or identification cards, and updates provisions for identifying interdicted persons on driver's licenses and identification cards.
