Summary

The bill prohibits law‑enforcement officers from using chemical agents or kinetic‑energy projectiles to disperse assemblies, protests, or demonstrations, except when they have specific training and the force is objectively reasonable to protect life or prevent serious injury. Police agencies must submit a detailed report of any such use to the state police within 60 days, and the report must be posted on the agency’s website.
