It shall be unlawful for any person under the age of twenty-one (21) years to enter upon premises where alcoholic liquors, spirits, beer or wine are sold by the holder of a Class “A” license unless accompanied by a parent or legal guardian. No holder of a Class “A” license, nor any officer, associate, member, representative, agent or employee of such licensee shall permit any person under the age of twenty-one (21) years not accompanied by a parent or legal guardian to enter the licensed premises. For the purpose of preventing the violation of this Section, any holder of a Class “A” license, or his agent or employee, may refuse to permit entry onto the licensed premises of any person under the age of twenty-one (21) years who is unable to produce adequate written evidence of the fact that the person accompanying such person under the age of twenty-one (21) years is that person's parent or legal guardian. (235 ILCS 5/4-1)
If a licensee or his agents or employees believe or have reason to believe that a sale or delivery of any alcoholic liquor is prohibited because of the age of the prospective recipient, he shall, before making such sale or delivery, demand presentation of some form of positive identification, containing proof of age, issued by a public officer in the performance of his official duties.
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 criminal prosecution therefor or in any proceedings for the suspension or revocation of any license based thereon. (235 ILCS 5/6-20)
No person shall transfer, alter or deface such an identification card; use the identification card of another; carry or use a false or forged identification card; or obtain an identification card by means of false information. No person shall purchase, accept delivery, or have possession of alcoholic liquor in violation of this Chapter.
The consumption of alcoholic liquor by any person under the age of twenty-one (21) years is forbidden. (235 ILCS 5/6-20)
