Vermont law does not regulate a business’s practice of scanning IDs or retaining information obtained from a scan. However, there are instances where merchants are required to record information related to identity, such as the sale of controlled substances and scrap metal recycling. ID scanning can improve the ease and accuracy of record keeping in these scenarios.
In the absence of any statute governing issues associated with a business’s practice of scanning IDs, a business is likely allowed to scan IDs and retain information obtained from a scan, subject to applicable privacy laws.
Vermont does not offer affirmative defense for ID scanning. According to Vermont Title 7: Alcoholic Beverages, Cannabis, And Tobacco, § 658, a person shall not sell or furnish alcoholic beverages to a person under 21 years of age or knowingly enable the consumption of alcoholic beverages by a person under 21 years of age. Violation of this section can result in a fine of not less than $500.00 nor more than $2,000.00 or imprisonment not more than two years, or both.
However, an employee of a licensee or an employee of a State liquor agency, who in the course of employment violates this section, may plead as an affirmative defense that:
