(A) No licensee nor any officer, associate, member, representative, agent or employee of such licensee shall sell, give or deliver alcoholic liquor to any person under the age of 21 years, or to any intoxicated person, or to any person known by him to be an habitual drunkard, spendthrift, insane, mentally ill, mentally deficient or in need of mental treatment. No person after purchasing or otherwise obtaining alcoholic liquor shall sell, give or deliver such alcoholic liquor to another person under the age of 21 years, except in the performance of a religious ceremony or service. For the purpose of preventing violation of this section, any licensee or his agent or employee may refuse to sell or serve alcoholic liquor to any person who is unable to produce adequate written evidence of identity or of the fact that he or she is over the age of 21 years.
(B) Adequate written evidence of age and identity of the person is a document issued by a federal, state, county or municipal government or subdivision or agency thereof, including, but not limited to a motor vehicle operators license, a registration certificate issued under the Federal Selective Service Act or an identification card issued to a member of the armed forces. Proof that the defendant, licensee or his employees or agent demanded, was shown and reasonably relied upon such written evidence in any transaction forbidden by this section is competent evidence and may be considered in any prosecution therefor or to any proceedings for the suspension or revocation of any license based thereon.
(C) Any person who sells, gives or furnishes to any person under the age of 21 years, any false or fraudulent written, printed or photostatic evidence of the age and identity of such person or who sells, gives or furnishes to any person under the age of 21 years, evidence of age and identification of any other person is guilty of a violation of this section. Any person under the age of 21 years who presents or offers to any licensee, his agent or employee any written, printed or photostatic evidence of age and identity which is false, fraudulent or not actually his own, for the purpose of ordering, purchasing, attempting to purchase or otherwise procuring or attempting to procure serving of any alcoholic liquor or who has in his possession any false or fraudulent written, printed or photostatic evidence of age and identity is guilty of a violation of this section. Any person under the age of 21 years, who has any alcoholic liquor in his possession on any street or highway or in any public place open to the public is guilty of a violation of this section. This does not apply to a person under the age of 21 years making a delivery of alcoholic liquor in pursuance of the order of his parent or in pursuance of his employment. Whoever violates provisions of this section shall be guilty of a violation of this chapter.
