Crimes and offenses; authorizes law enforcement officer to demand suspect's date of birth in certain circumstances, criminalizes providing false date of birth to law enforcement
HB 16 expands law enforcement authority during stops by allowing officers to demand a suspect's date of birth when reasonably suspecting a felony or public offense, in addition to name and address. It criminalizes providing a false date of birth with intent to mislead, classifying it as a Class A misdemeanor under Alabama law. This directly affects individuals stopped by police under these circumstances, requiring them to provide accurate date of birth or face potential misdemeanor charges. The bill amends existing statutes (§13A-9-18.1 and §15-5-30) to include date of birth as a required disclosure during such encounters.
