petty offenses; lawful detainment; identification

HB 2178 requires individuals detained by a peace officer under reasonable suspicion of committing a petty offense or crime to provide their true full name and date of birth. The bill specifies that people must state this information but are not required to answer other questions from the officer. Refusing to provide the name or birth date after being advised it is unlawful is classified as a class 2 misdemeanor. This law directly affects people stopped by police for suspected minor offenses, limiting officers' ability to demand additional information during such detentions.
