HB 2186 Arizona House · 57th Legislature - Second Regular Session

identity evidence; civil traffic violations

HB 2186 requires drivers and passengers to provide specific identity evidence during traffic stops when requested by police. Drivers must show a document containing their full name, date of birth, address, physical description (including height, weight, eye/hair color, and sex), and signature, or verbally provide name, DOB, and address if not driving. It amends Arizona law to classify failing to comply with this requirement as a class 2 misdemeanor, with a defense available if a valid driver license is later presented to court. The bill directly affects individuals stopped for traffic violations who cannot produce a driver license. It specifies concrete ID requirements to standardize enforcement during traffic stops.
