| 2 | | AMENDMENT NO. ______. Amend Senate Bill 3340 on page 8, by |
| 3 | | replacing lines 6 through 25 with the following: |
| 4 | | "(e) Lodging customer identification. Protective medical |
| 5 | | equipment shall be briefly removed by the medical device |
| 6 | | wearer upon request by an operator of an inn, motel, or other |
| 7 | | place of lodging to verify identification upon check-in. |
| 8 | | (f) Reasonable confirmation of identity. For applicable |
| 9 | | situations under subsections (c), (d), and (e), a person |
| 10 | | wearing protective medical equipment may continue to do so if |
| 11 | | clear window masks or other forms of protective medical |
| 12 | | equipment allow an operator to reasonably confirm the |
| 13 | | individual's facial features without removal of the protective |
| 14 | | medical equipment. |
| 15 | | (1) Determination of whether identity can be |
| 16 | | reasonably confirmed shall be at the discretion of the |
| 17 | | operator, consistent with State and federal law. |
| 18 | | (2) If the operator cannot reasonably confirm the |
|
| | 10400SB3340sam001 | - 2 - | LRB104 19556 BAB 34857 a |
|
|
| 1 | | individual's identity while the protective equipment |
| 2 | | remains in place, the operator may request that the |
| 3 | | individual briefly remove the equipment solely for the |
| 4 | | purpose of visual identification. |
| 5 | | (3) An operator shall not be liable for refusing to |
| 6 | | sell, provide, or deliver any product, service, guest |
| 7 | | accommodation, or room if: |
| 8 | | (A) verification of identity or age is required by |
| 9 | | State or federal law; or |
| 10 | | (B) the operator, in good faith, determines that |
| 11 | | identity cannot be reasonably confirmed while the |
| 12 | | protective medical equipment remains in place, and the |
| 13 | | individual refuses to comply with a reasonable request |
| 14 | | to briefly remove protective medical equipment for |
| 15 | | visual identification. |
| 16 | | (4) Nothing in this Act shall be construed to require |
| 17 | | an operator to complete a sale, furnish a service, or |
| 18 | | provide access to guest accommodations to any individual |
| 19 | | who declines to comply with such a reasonable request."; |
| 20 | | and |
| 21 | | on page 8, line 26, by replacing "(f)" with "(g)". |
