In plain English
Our reading
A Kentucky pool hall that charges for play can't let anyone under 18 at a table until they show an ID card with their name, age, photo and a parent's or guardian's signature. Each minor also signs the hall's registration book, and the hall has to hand out blank ID cards to parents who ask for them.
