§3212. Digitized identification card acceptance; limitation of liability
A. When a person requests a consumer to produce valid identification for the
purpose of furnishing proof of the consumer's identification or age, the person shall accept
a state-issued digitized identification card as a valid form of identification.
B. A digital copy, photograph, or image of a digitized identification card which is
not downloaded through a state-approved application on a mobile device shall not be
considered a valid digitized identification card as provided for by this Chapter.
C. The display of a digitized identification card does not serve as consent or
authorization for a person to search, view, or access any other data or application on the
consumer's mobile device. When a consumer presents his mobile device to a person for the
purpose of displaying a digitized identification card, the person shall promptly return the
mobile device to the consumer once the person has had an opportunity to verify the identity
or age of the consumer and the current status of the license or identification card.
D.(1) Under no circumstances shall this state, or any of its agencies, be held liable
in any manner legally or otherwise as a result of the use or misuse of a digitized identification
card.
(2) Under no circumstances shall a private business, legal entity, or person be held
liable in any manner legally or otherwise as a result of the use or misuse of a digitized
identification card.
