Crimes and offenses, use of taser on restrained individual prohibited; criminal penalties provided for

SB 20 prohibits law enforcement officers in Alabama from using tasers on individuals who are restrained (e.g., handcuffed or in body restraints). It directly affects police officers and establishes a Class C felony penalty for violations. The bill defines "taser" broadly and clarifies that using it on a restrained person is unlawful, regardless of existing laws. The law would take effect on October 1, 2025.
