Be it enacted by the General Assembly of Virginia:

1. That the Code of Virginia be amended by adding a section numbered
4-73.1, which is as follows:

§ 4-73.1. (a) Upon application of any person who is a resident of
this State, who is twenty-one years of age or older but not more than
twenty-five years of age, and who is a person to whom alcoholic 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
purpose of identification in connection with the purchase of alcoholic bev-
person resides shall cause a certificate to be issued to such person for the
erages 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 photograph 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 government store or of a retail
establishment licensed by the Board who has reason to believe such person
is less than twenty-one years of age shall be cause for the refusal by such
an employee to sell an alcoholic beverage to such person.

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