An individual licensed to operate a motor vehicle shall have a physical or electronic operator's license in the individual's immediate possession at all times when operating a motor vehicle and shall physically surrender or electronically provide an operator's license, upon demand of any court, police officer, or a field deputy or inspector of the department. However, an individual charged with violating this section may not be convicted or assessed any court costs if the individual produces within fourteen days to the office of the prosecutor where the matter is pending, a valid operator's license issued to that individual that is not under suspension, revocation, or cancellation at the time of the individual's arrest.
