The Senate Resolution S.R. No. 706, introduced by Senator West during the 89th Legislature's Regular Session in 2025, seeks to suspend a portion of Senate Rule 12.03 to allow a conference committee to address specific differences in Senate Bill 650. This bill mandates the use of electronically readable information to verify the age of purchasers in the retail sale of alcoholic beverages. The resolution specifically permits the committee to omit certain text from proposed SECTION 2 of the bill, which pertains to the requirements for package store permit holders.

The omitted text relates to the verification process for age confirmation, allowing package store permit holders to visually inspect and access electronically readable information from identification documents, such as driver's licenses, during the sale of alcoholic beverages for off-premises consumption. The resolution was adopted by the Senate on June 1, 2025, with unanimous support, reflecting a collective agreement on the necessity of these changes to enhance age verification practices in the retail alcohol industry.
