The bill amends the Michigan liquor control code of 1998 by adding a new section, Sec. 202, which allows consumers to use qualified photo identification to verify their age when purchasing or consuming alcoholic liquor. The term "consumer" is defined as per section 203 of the existing law.

The bill specifies what constitutes "qualified photo identification," which includes various forms of identification such as a Michigan operator's or chauffeur's license, enhanced driver licenses, state personal identification cards, and similar documents issued by other states, as well as federal and military IDs, tribal IDs, local government IDs, and student IDs from educational institutions. This expansion of acceptable identification aims to streamline the age verification process for alcohol purchases.
