The bill amends Sections 3-8-6 and 3-8-6.1 of the General Laws in Chapter 3-8, focusing on the regulation of sales related to alcoholic beverages and the age restrictions for consumption. It introduces new provisions that make it unlawful for individuals under the age of twenty-one to enter licensed premises for purchasing or consuming alcohol and to misrepresent their age. The bill also outlines the requirements for issuing Rhode Island identification cards for those aged twenty-one and older, including necessary documentation and fees. Additionally, it mandates that retail licensees maintain records of individuals presenting identification to verify their age, thereby enhancing compliance with age restrictions.

Moreover, the bill establishes guidelines for issuing identification cards to individuals under twenty-one, requiring the division of motor vehicles to issue these cards upon request and payment of a fee, provided appropriate documentation is presented. It specifies that individuals with an operator's license or identification card from any state are ineligible for this identification card, which must be renewed every five years and be distinguishable from other licenses. The bill also amends section 31-10-1 to prevent individuals from holding multiple valid licenses and modifies terminology in the Rhode Island Salvage Law, changing "re-constructed salvage" to "rebuilt salvage." Sections 1 and 2 of the bill will take effect upon passage, while section 3 will take effect six months after passage.
