Sec. 6-36Failure to check identification

No person who is the holder of any alcoholic beverage license issued by the city nor any agent, servant or employee of the business in which any such license is utilized shall in connection with the operation of the business in which such license is utilized fail to require or check the identification of the person to whom any alcoholic beverage is sold or furnished prior to the sale, furnishing or distribution of any alcoholic beverage or any person who has not attained legal age. No person shall be in violation of the provisions hereof in the event that (i) such person has been furnished with identification showing that the person who is being furnished with alcoholic beverages has attained legal age and (ii) under the surrounding circumstances the person so furnished such identification could reasonably conclude that the person furnishing such identification had attained legal age. For purposes of this action, the term "identification" means any document issued by a governmental agency containing a description of the person such as the person's photograph or other written description and providing the person's date of birth, and shall include, without being limited to, a passport, a military identification card, or a driver's license.
