An Act relative to the transparency of electronic weapons and devices
This bill requires law enforcement and public safety officials to report specific details within 24 hours whenever a stun gun is discharged, including the time, duration, stun gun's serial number, and the official's identity. It also mandates that contractors collecting stun gun data for the state must report the time, duration, and serial number to the attorney general within 24 hours of being notified of a discharge. The law directly affects law enforcement agencies, public safety officials, and state-contracted data collectors. All reports must go to both the official's commanding officer and the attorney general. The bill aims to create a standardized reporting system for stun gun use without altering the legal authority to use such devices.
