Use of Force Reporting Requirements

Summary

The bill makes it mandatory for anyone who uses deadly force to report the incident to 911 or law enforcement within 24 hours if they want a pre‑trial justification hearing. Reporting creates a prima facie claim of justification, shifting the burden to the state to disprove it. Certain situations, such as force against a lawful officer or low‑level offenses, are excluded.
