The bill amends several sections of the General Laws related to the regulation of sales and identification cards in Rhode Island. It introduces new provisions regarding unlawful drinking and misrepresentation by underage persons, specifically prohibiting individuals under the age of twenty-one from entering licensed premises for the sale of alcoholic beverages, consuming alcohol, or misrepresenting their age. The bill establishes identification cards for individuals over and under the age of twenty-one, detailing the required documentation and fees. It specifies that no person holding an operator's license, driver privilege card, or identification card from any state or territory can be issued a Rhode Island identification card unless they surrender all valid licenses and identification cards in their possession.

Additionally, the bill amends the operators and chauffeurs licenses section to require individuals to surrender all valid licenses and identification cards before receiving a new operator's license. It also updates the Rhode Island salvage law by changing the terminology from "re-constructed salvage" to "rebuilt salvage." The provisions in Sections 1 and 2 of the bill will take effect upon passage, while the changes in Section 3 will take effect six months after passage.
