Summary

HB 2165 makes it a crime to impersonate a peace officer by using uniforms, vehicles, or insignia when a reasonable person would believe the person is law‑enforcement. The offense is a gross misdemeanor, but the bill protects legitimate owners of such items, retired officers, heirs, and artistic or news uses. It also updates the definition of second‑degree criminal impersonation to align with the new rule.
