New rules for scanning customer IDs

Retailers that scan a physical or digital government or tribal ID only to check age must use it only for that purpose. They cannot transfer or sell the scan or its metadata. They must permanently delete the scan and metadata within 180 days. For tobacco and vaping sales, sellers must ask for a photo ID when they doubt a customer’s age. If they scan that ID, the same privacy and 180-day deletion rules apply. This law does not change federal recordkeeping for ephedrine or pseudoephedrine sales.
