(A) No licensee, or any officer, liquor manager 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; provided that a licensee may sell, give or deliver alcoholic liquor, or authorize the sale, gift or delivery of alcoholic liquor to a person under the age of 21 years pursuant to a plan or action to investigate, patrol, or otherwise conduct a "sting operation" or enforcement action against a person employed by the licensee or on any licensed premises if the licensee provides written notice at least 14 days before the "sting operation" or enforcement action to the city's Police Department and the Commissioner. Such notice shall be valid for a "sting operation" or enforcement action conducted within 60 days of the provision of such notice.
(B) No person under the age of 21 years shall purchase or accept delivery of any alcoholic liquor from any licensee unless such person was acting under the authority of the city's Police Department or the Commissioner pursuant to a plan or action to investigate, patrol or conduct a similar enforcement action.
(C) If a person under the age of 21 years is in possession of alcoholic liquor, on the premises licensed to sell alcoholic liquor for consumption on such premises, it shall be presumed that the licensee sold, gave or delivered such alcoholic liquor to the minor in possession thereof.
(D) For the purpose of preventing the violation of this section, any licensee, its liquor manager or any employee, may refuse to sell or serve alcoholic beverages to any person who is unable to produce adequate written evidence of identity and of the fact that he or she is over the age of 21 years, as provided in § 111.024(A).
