A. When a person requests a consumer to produce valid identification for the purpose of furnishing proof of the consumer's identification or age, the person shall accept a state-issued digitized identification card as a valid form of identification.
B. A digital copy, photograph, or image of a digitized identification card which is not downloaded through a state-approved application on a mobile device shall not be considered a valid digitized identification card as provided for by this Chapter.

D. (1) Under no circumstances shall this state, or any of its agencies, be held liable in any manner legally or otherwise as a result of the use or misuse of a digitized identification card.
