1. In determining an individual's age for purposes of this chapter, the individual's date of 
birth as provided by any of the following is presumed to be the individual's legal date of 
birth:
a. A state government in the form of a birth certificate, other state -issued 
identification, or a certified copy of a birth certificate that includes the individual's 
date of birth;
b. The United States government in the form of a tribal identification document, 
military identification, passport, passport card, permanent resident card, 
certificate of United States citizenship, certificate of naturalization, border 
crossing card, visa, or other entry document that includes the individual's date of 
birth; or
c. A foreign government in the form of a passport, driver's license, or other foreign 
government-issued identity document that includes the individual's date of birth. If 
there is a conflict between government issued forms, a government issued birth 
certificate or a certified copy of a birth certificate takes precedence.
2. The presumption in subsection 1 may be rebutted by clear and convincing evidence to 
the contrary.
