AI Summary

  • Amends Section 25660 of the Business and Professions Code to recognize digital driver's licenses and identification cards as valid proof of age and identity for alcohol sales.

  • Digital licenses or identification cards must validate that the holder is 21 years or older and be issued pursuant to Vehicle Code Section 13020.

  • Digital documents qualify as bona fide evidence only if the Department of Motor Vehicles authorizes their use without requiring possession of a physical driver's license or identification card.

  • Reliance on valid digital proof of age remains a legal defense for licensees and their employees against criminal prosecution and license suspension or revocation for selling to minors.

  • Updates gender-specific language in the statute from "his or her" to "their" for inclusive phrasing.
