(a) A seller or an agent or employee of a seller may perform a transaction scan by means of a transaction scan device to check the validity of a driver's or commercial driver's license or identification card presented by a card holder as a condition for selling, giving away, or otherwise distributing to the card holder a pseudoephedrine product.
(b) If the information deciphered by the transaction scan performed under Section 753.06(a) of this chapter fails to match the information printed on the driver's or commercial driver's license or identification card presented by the card holder, or if the transaction scan indicates that the information so printed is false or fraudulent, neither the seller nor any agent or employee of the seller shall sell, give away, or otherwise distribute any pseudoephedrine product to the card holder.
(c) Section 753.06(a) of this chapter does not preclude a seller or an agent or employee of a seller as a condition for selling, giving away, or otherwise distributing a pseudoephedrine product to the person presenting the document from using a transaction scan device to check the validity of a document other than a driver's or commercial driver's license or an identification card if the document includes a bar code or magnetic strip that may be scanned by the device.
(d) Rules adopted by the Registrar of Motor Vehicles under division (C) of section 4301.61 of the Ohio Revised Code apply to the use of transaction scan devices for purposes of this chapter.

(2) The expiration date and identification number of the driver's or commercial driver's license or identification card presented by a card holder.
(f) No seller or agent or employee of a seller shall use the information that is derived from a transaction scan or that is permitted to be recorded and maintained under Section 753.06 of this chapter except for purposes of Section 2925.58 of the Ohio Revised Code.

(i) Nothing in this section or Section 753.07 relieves a seller or an agent or employee of a seller of any responsibility to comply with any other applicable state or federal laws or rules governing the sale, giving away, or other distribution of pseudoephedrine products.
