Bill > HB2331

This bill modifies Arizona law regarding failure to provide identification during traffic-related interactions with law enforcement. The bill updates the existing statute by clarifying and expanding requirements for drivers and other individuals to provide identification when requested by a peace officer or traffic enforcement agent. Specifically, it refines language about what constitutes a failure to provide identification, specifying that both drivers and passengers (including pedestrians and bicyclists) must provide verifiable proof of identity when an officer has reasonable cause to believe a violation has occurred. The bill maintains the classification of such failures as a class 2 misdemeanor and specifies that verifiable proof of identity must include full legal name, date of birth, and residential address (where applicable). The legislation also makes some minor grammatical changes, such as replacing "residence" with "residential" and adjusting article usage. Notably, the bill removes a previous provision about non-drivers providing identification and replaces it with a more comprehensive requirement that applies to a broader range of individuals in traffic-related scenarios.
