On page 2, after line 16, insert the following:

"NEW SECTION. Sec. 3. A new section is added to chapter 9.91 RCW to read as follows:

(1) Where there may be a question of a person's right to purchase or obtain violent video or computer games by reason of age, the retailer, or agent thereof, shall require the purchaser to present any one of the following officially issued identification that shows the purchaser's age and bears his or her signature and photograph: Liquor control authority card of identification of a state or province of Canada; driver's license, instruction permit, or identification card of a state or province of Canada; "identicard" issued by the Washington state department of licensing under chapter 46.20 RCW; United States military identification; passport; or merchant marine identification card issued by the United States coast guard.

(2) It is a defense to a prosecution that the person making a sale reasonably relied on any of the officially issued identification as defined in subsection (1) of this section. The court shall waive the suspension or revocation of a license if the retailer, or agent thereof, clearly establishes that he or she acted in good faith to prevent violations and a violation occurred despite the retailer's or agent's exercise of due diligence."

Renumber the remaining section consecutively and correct any internal references accordingly.
