The resolution proposes a partial suspension of House Rule 13, Section 9(a) to allow a conference committee to address differences in Senate Bill 650, which mandates the use of electronically readable information for age verification in the retail sale of alcoholic beverages. Specifically, the resolution seeks to permit the committee to omit certain text from proposed SECTION 2 of the bill that is not in dispute, namely the addition of Section 109.61(a-1)(1)(A)(i) of the Alcoholic Beverage Code, which pertains to package store permits.

The rationale behind this change is to ensure that holders of package store permits are required to visually inspect and access electronically readable information from identification documents, such as driver's licenses, to verify the age of purchasers when selling alcoholic beverages for off-premises consumption. This adjustment aims to enhance compliance with age verification requirements in the retail alcohol industry.
