Relative to the use of false identification for the purpose of purchasing alcohol. The Judiciary.

AI Summary

This bill amends the existing law to allow, rather than require, that a person who uses a false identification card or license to purchase alcohol or gain access to an establishment for the purpose of purchasing alcohol be guilty of a misdemeanor. Additionally, the bill introduces new provisions that allow for the suspension of a person's driver's license for 90 days for a first offense and until they reach the age of 21 for a second offense, if they use a false identification to purchase alcohol or gain access to an establishment for that purpose.
