(A) If a licensee or any agent or employee of the licensee, believes or has reason to believe that a sale or delivery of any alcoholic liquor is prohibited because of the age of the prospective recipient, such person 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 that officer’s official duties.
(B) Proof that the licensee or the licensee’s employee 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 therefore or in any proceedings for the suspension or revocation of any license based thereon.
