California AB509 amends the Business and Professions Code to redefine defenses for licensees against underage alcohol sales.

California AB509 amends Section 25660 of the Business and Professions Code to redefine defenses for licensees against underage alcohol sales. It specifies that bona fide evidence of majority and identity, such as a valid driver's license, passport, or military ID, can be used to defend against prosecution or license suspension. Additionally, the use of an active age verification software or device that fails to identify a false identification card is considered evidence in any prosecution or proceedings against the licensee.
