Here in Alaska they just started requiring you to carry proof of insurance. There was no press release of a major sort. I did find a small article in the local papers archives. It recently started to make the paper as the State troopers started to act upon it in force. most people were caught unaware, at least here in Anchorage. It's mostly being treated as an "ignorance of the law is no excuse" (not my opinion, at least not when it's buried) the only clear mention I ever found was
here .
My point is your probably screwed.
pretty steep fine for not carring a piece of paper.
