AI Summary
This bill amends existing Mississippi law concerning the sale of alcoholic beverages to individuals under 21 years of age. Specifically, it allows the Commissioner of Revenue, after a permittee (a licensed seller of alcohol) has committed a third or subsequent offense of unlawfully selling or furnishing alcohol to someone under 21, to require that permittee to use an independent, third-party age-verification app on their licensed premises. This app would help determine if a customer is 21 or older, and the Commissioner can set rules for how long the app must be used, with the app needing an 85% accuracy rating. The bill also clarifies that these new requirements and existing penalties apply regardless of any expunction of a conviction.
