BREAKING: Utah HB 353 Amended in Utah Senate
Posted by Liz Surette on March 12, 2009The Utah Senate has just passed an amendment to HB 353, adding the words “by presenting false age identification” to the supposed safe harbor provision of the bill that protects a retailer from liability when a purchaser misrepresents their age to the retailer.
Concern was expressed that this amendment creates a de facto requirement that retailers card for purchase of M-rated games, and a worry that treble damages would result from a breach. However, Senator Dayton denied that treble damages would be imposed.
As I write this, new amendments will be argued and the bill’s fate overall will be voted on later tonight. Stay close.

As if Utah isn’t shitty enough without these crazy-ass laws. Soon the secret police will be searching your homes for videogames you purchased underage.
