(b) Uniform standards established by the commission under this section apply to all investigations conducted by the commission that use minor decoys. The commission shall encourage all law enforcement agencies of this state to use the uniform standards established under this section for minor decoy operations conducted by the law enforcement agencies.

(6) Notwithstanding any other provision of this chapter, the commission may not consider any sale or delivery of alcoholic beverages to a minor that results from a minor decoy operation that is not conducted in compliance with the standards established under this section for the purpose of:

(a) Imposing any civil penalty against a licensee, permittee, agent appointed by the commission, third-party delivery facilitator or a person delivering alcoholic beverages to final consumers;

(b) Making a decision on the renewal, suspension or cancellation of a license, permit, appointment or third-party delivery facilitator permit issued under this chapter or rules adopted under this chapter; or
