A. Presence On Premises Prohibited: No minors shall be permitted in any licensed premises where the principal business is the sale of alcohol. Any licensee who violates this subsection shall be guilty of a violation hereof. In addition, any parents or guardians or other adult persons who shall bring or accompany any minor on such premises shall be guilty of a violation of this subsection.
B. Identification:
1. If a licensee, pursuant to this chapter, or agent thereof, shall believe that a sale or delivery of alcoholic liquor is prohibited because of the minority of the prospective recipient, he or she shall, before making such sale or delivery, demand presentation of some form of acceptable identification containing proof of age. The acceptance must be made in reasonable reliance that the person presenting the identification is in fact of legal age and the same person pictured on the ID. The following types of identification are acceptable forms of identification for purposes of entering a licensed establishment and/or purchasing or obtaining alcoholic liquor: vehicle operator's license; state photo identification card for nondrivers; and passport or visa. No person, when on premises licensed under this chapter, shall refuse to show proof of his or her age when asked to do so by the licensee or agent thereof. Any person who fails to produce positive proof of age when so requested shall immediately be advised to leave the licensed premises.
2. With respect to any identifying document containing proof of age issued by a public officer in the performance of official duties, no person shall:
a. Alter or deface such identifying document; or
b. Present identifying documents belonging to another person as his or her own; or
c. Carry or use a false or forged identification document; or
d. Obtain any document establishing identity by means of false information.
C. Warning Sign: Every licensed establishment within the village, where alcoholic liquor is sold, shall display in a prominent place near to and clearly visible at all points of entry a printed warning which shall read as follows:
