This bill, introduced by Representative Fontenot, amends Louisiana's law on resisting an officer by adding a new provision to the definition of "obstruction of" an officer. Specifically, it enacts R.S. 14:108(B)(1)(f), which states that failing to provide or display a state-issued driver's license or identification upon an officer's request constitutes obstruction when the individual is operating a motor vehicle, has been lawfully detained for an alleged violation, and the officer has exhausted all resources to verify the person's identity.

The new legal language clarifies the circumstances under which a person's failure to present identification can be considered obstructive behavior. This addition aims to enhance law enforcement's ability to confirm identities during traffic stops and other lawful detentions, thereby streamlining interactions between officers and the public.
