any alcoholic beverages at any time to a minor under 21,
except that the age is 18 for beer and light wine, either
for his own use or for the use of any other person, or to
any person who, at the time of the sale, or delivery, is
visibly under the influence of any alcoholic beverage.
Any licensee or any of his employees who is charged with
a violation of this subsection shall receive a summons
for his appearance in court on a certain day to answer
the charges placed against him. The person charged may
not be required to post bail bond pending trial in any
court of this State. Any person violating any of the
provisions of this subsection is guilty of a misdemeanor
and upon conviction, suffers the penalties provided by §
200 of this article. However, any person charged with
selling or furnishing any alcoholic beverages to a minor
under 21, except that the age is 18 for beer and light
wine, may not be found guilty of a violation of this
subsection, if the person establishes to the satisfaction
of the jury or the court sitting as a jury, that he used
due caution to establish that the minor under 21, or 18
where beer or light wine is sold or furnished, was not,
in fact a minor under 21 if a nonresident of the State,
or 18 where beer or light wine is sold or furnished, if a
nonresident of the State. If, in either case, the person
is a resident of the State of Maryland, the licensee may
accept, as proof of a person's age, the display of the
person's age of majority identification card as provided
for in [§ 6-602 of Article 66 1/2] THE MARYLAND VEHICLE
LAW. If any person shall be found not guilty, or placed
on probation without a verdict, of any alleged violation
of this subsection, this finding operates as a complete
bar to any proceeding by any alcoholic beverage
law—enforcement or licensing authorities on account of
the alleged violation, provided that the person inducing
the sale in question has been found guilty by a court
under one of the sections of Article 27 of the Annotated
Code of Maryland numbered 400 to 403, both inclusive.
SECTION 2. AND BE IT FURTHER ENACTED, That Section
310 of Article 2C - Alcoholism, of the Annotated Code of
Maryland (1976 Replacement Volume and 1976 Supplement) be
