Product Description
This bill which makes many changes becomes effective on 7/1/2021. It establishes a Peace Officer Standards and Training Commission (POST) with subpoena power and investigative power, establishes limits on police use of force including a ban on chokeholds, requiring de-escalation before use of force, requires officers intervene and/or report use of unreasonable force by fellow officers, limits no-knock warrants and bans racial profiling. The bill also creates two new criminal offenses: overtime fraud and law enforcement officials having sex with people in their custody. In addition, it creates four permanent commissions and seven temporary commissions.Join our faculty as we look at the bill and what to expect when it becomes effective.
