Explanation
Under §25666 and ABC regulations, decoys must be under 20, must display the appearance generally expected of a person under 21 (no aging makeup or disguise), must carry their own valid identification, must answer truthfully if asked their age, and may not encourage the seller to sell. These rules protect licensees from entrapment defenses and ensure compliance checks are fair. Any sale to such a decoy is grounds for a §25658 citation.
