Firearms; possession without identification prohibited in certain municipalities

HB 450 prohibits individuals from possessing firearms without a valid form of identification in Class 1 municipalities and certain Class 3 municipalities (organized under Act 618 of 1973) within Alabama. It requires people carrying firearms to show ID to law enforcement upon request, with an exception if they can confirm their identity to an officer on the spot. Violations would be classified as Class C misdemeanors, though charges would be dismissed if the person presents valid ID in court, and related arrest records would be expunged. The law, if enacted, would take effect October 1, 2026.
