An Act requiring licensure for use of graduated electronic decelerators

Summary

The bill would require the state department to create rules for training, certification and licensing of anyone who administers or causes the use of a graduated electronic decelerator—a device that delivers a noxious electric shock to a person with a disability to change behavior. It makes unlicensed use illegal and sets a fine of up to $500 for violations. The measure targets caregivers, clinicians and facilities that currently may use such devices.
