Approved April 1, 1960

Be it enacted by the General Assembly of Virginia:
1. That the Code of Virginia be amended by adding a section num-
bered 4-112.2, as follows:

§ 4-112.2. (a) Upon application of any person who is a resident of
this State, who is eighteen years of age or older but not more than twenty-
five years of age, and who is a person to whom beverages may lawfully be
sold, the clerk of the circuit court of the county or of the corporation or
circuit court, as the case may be, of the city wherein such person resides,
shall cause a certificate to be issued to such person for the purpose of
identification in connection with the purchase of beverages by such person.
The application shall be in such form as may be prescribed by the Virginia
Alcoholic Beverage Control Board and shall be accompanied by a photo-
graph of the applicant. Every such certificate shall be in such form as
may be prescribed by the Virginia Alcoholic Beverage Control Board and
shall contain the name, address, weight, sex, race, height, color of eyes,
date of birth, place of birth and signature, together with a photograph of
the person to whom it is to be issued. With every such application there
shall be paid to the clerk of the court a fee of one dollar and fifty cents.

The failure of a person to present a certificate issued pursuant to this
section upon demand of an employee of a retail establishment licensed by
the Board who has reason to believe such person is less than eighteen
years of age shall be cause for the refusal by such an employee to sell
beverages to such person.

(b) A person who is not a resident of this State but who is a person
to whom beverages may lawfully be sold and whose age has been ques-
tioned by an employee of a retail establishment licensed by the Board in
the connection with the purchase of a beverage may execute a statement
and sign same on the following form in the presence of two competent wit-
nesses who are twenty-one years of age or older and are not employed in
a retail establishment licensed by the Board:
