Crimes and offenses; crime of giving false information to a law enforcement officer, established; crime of refusing to give a law enforcement officer information, established

Summary

The bill adds two new crimes: lying about your name, address, or birth date to an officer, and refusing to provide that information after a lawful investigatory stop. Both offenses are misdemeanors, with the false‑information crime carrying a higher penalty. It also expands police authority to demand basic identifying details during stops and repeals an older false‑information statute.
