An Act relative to the transparency of electronic weapons and devices

This bill requires law enforcement and public safety officials to report specific details about any stun gun discharges within 24 hours. The report must include the time and duration of the discharge, the serial number of the device used, and the identity of the official who fired it. Additionally, private contractors hired to collect this data must also report the time, duration, and serial number to the attorney general within the same timeframe. These changes aim to increase transparency regarding the use of electronic weapons by mandating timely data collection and reporting.
