The bill amends several sections of the General Laws in Rhode Island regarding the regulation of sales, specifically focusing on the issuance and management of identification cards for individuals under and over the age of 21. It introduces new provisions under section 3-8-6.1 that make it unlawful for individuals under 21 to enter licensed premises for the purpose of purchasing or consuming alcoholic beverages, and it establishes penalties for violations. The bill also outlines the process for obtaining a Rhode Island identification card for those over 21 under section 3-8-6, including the necessary documentation and fees, while ensuring that individuals holding an operator's license or identification card from any state or jurisdiction cannot obtain a Rhode Island identification card unless they surrender all valid licenses and identification cards in their possession.

Additionally, the bill modifies the language in the Rhode Island Salvage Law, changing the term "re-constructed salvage" to "rebuilt salvage" under section 31-46-4. It emphasizes the prohibition of holding multiple driver's licenses or identification cards, ensuring that individuals must surrender any existing licenses or cards when applying for a new one. The provisions in Sections 1 and 2 will take effect upon passage, while the changes to the salvage law will take effect six months after passage.
