prohibiting certain licensees from electronically recording or storing personal information obtained from an identification card.

HB 77 prohibits businesses that sell alcohol or tobacco (licensees) from electronically storing personal information obtained when scanning a customer's ID for age verification. The bill allows scanning IDs to confirm a customer's age but explicitly bans storing details like Social Security numbers, driver's license numbers, photos, names, addresses (excluding zip code), phone numbers, or medical information from those IDs. This directly affects bars, stores, and other licensed sellers by restricting how they handle customer ID data after verification. The law takes effect on August 30, 2025, following Governor Ayotte's signature.
