Summary

The bill eliminates a 2026 statute that obligates law‑enforcement officers, including federal agents, to show their faces and provide sufficient identification during certain public encounters. It would no longer require officers to wear uniforms, display department IDs, or verbally state their name and agency before detaining or arresting someone, except in limited safety or investigative exceptions. Supporters say the change protects officer safety and prevents retaliation.
