Assembly Bill 441 mandates that law enforcement officers, as well as individuals acting in coordination with law enforcement agencies, must clearly identify themselves when arresting or detaining individuals. The bill specifies that officers must display their surname, badge number, and agency insignia, ensuring that these identifiers meet certain visibility standards. Additionally, officers are required to provide the legal authority for the arrest or detention and are prohibited from covering their faces or using disguises to conceal their identity, with exceptions for certain safety-related face coverings.

Violations of these requirements will result in a Class D felony charge; however, the bill stipulates that the maximum penalty is a $100,000 fine, and the court is not permitted to impose a term of imprisonment for this offense. The bill aims to enhance transparency and accountability in law enforcement practices during arrests and detentions.
