Sec. 6. 15 MRSA §3201, sub-§3, as amended by PL 1995, c. 470, §6, is further amended to read:

3. Enforcement of other juvenile crimes. A law enforcement officer who has probable cause to believe that a juvenile crime, as defined by section 3103, subsection 1, paragraph B or C has been committed may request that the juvenile provide the officer with reasonably credible evidence of the juvenile's name, address and age date of birth. The evidence may consist of oral representations by the juvenile. If the juvenile furnishes the officer with evidence of the juvenile's name, address and age date of birth and the evidence does not appear to be reasonably credible, the officer shall attempt to verify the evidence as quickly as is reasonably possible. During the period the verification is being attempted, the officer may require the juvenile to remain present for a period not to exceed 2 hours. The officer may not arrest the juvenile for the juvenile crime defined by section 3103, subsection 1, paragraph B or C.

After informing the juvenile of the provisions of this subsection, the officer may arrest the juvenile for a crime defined in section 3103, subsection 1, paragraph B or C conduct that, if committed by an adult, would be considered criminal as described in Title 17-A, section 17, subsection 2 if the juvenile intentionally refuses to furnish any evidence of the juvenile's correct name, address and age or date of birth, or if, after attempting to verify the evidence as provided for in this subsection, the officer has probable cause to believe that the juvenile has intentionally failed to provide reasonably credible evidence of the juvenile's name, address and age or date of birth.

Sec. 7. 15 MRSA §3202, as amended by PL 2001, c. 4, §1, is further amended to read:
