Proof of age bill passed
Senators passed a bill March 1 that allows nonresidents to use a state-issued identification card to purchase alcohol.
To purchase alcohol a customer currently must provide one of the following accepted forms of identification:
• a valid driver’s or operator’s license;
• a military identification card;
• an alien registration card;
• a passport; or
• a Nebraska state identification card.
LB173, introduced by Lincoln Sen. Colby Coash, adds to that list a state identification card from any state.
Senators passed the bill on a 47-0 vote.
