Title: Crimes and offenses; authorizes law enforcement officer to demand suspect's date of birth in certain circumstances, criminalizes providing false date of birth to law enforcement
Description: Under current law, it is a crime to give a false name or address to a law enforcement officer in the course of the officer's official duties with the intent to mislead the officer.
This bill would also make it a crime to give a false date of birth to a law enforcement officer in the course of the officer's official duties with the intent to mislead the officer.
Under current law, a law enforcement officer may stop an individual the officer suspects is committing, has committed, or is about to commit a felony or other public offense and demand the individual's name, address, and an explanation of the individual's actions.
This bill would also authorize a law enforcement officer to demand an individual's date of birth if the officer suspects the individual is committing, has committed, or is about to commit a felony or other public offense.

The purpose or effect of this bill would be to require a new or increased expenditure of local funds within the meaning of the section. However, the bill does not require approval of a local governmental entity or enactment by a 2/3 vote to become effective because it comes within one of the specified exceptions contained in the section.
