HB2293 is a bill that proposes to amend Arizona Revised Statutes by adding a valid unexpired border crossing card issued by the U.S. government as an acceptable form of identification for determining legal drinking age. This card must contain the person's photograph and date of birth to be considered valid for this purpose.

The bill also includes technical changes, such as replacing the term "the commission of" with "committing" in the context of offenses leading to the suspension of a driver's license. Additionally, it clarifies language regarding the timeframe for taking a photograph for identification purposes, changing "no more than twelve hours" to "not more than twelve hours" before a purchase attempt. It also adjusts wording to clarify the use of biometric identity verification devices when there is a question about a person's age in relation to the purchase or consumption of alcohol. The bill is set to become effective on the general effective date.
