Prohibits carotid restraints, except under certain circumstances, and provides for peace officer dismissal and license revocation based on improper use of choke-holds and carotid restraints

This bill restricts law enforcement officers from using specific neck holds, known as respiratory choke-holds and carotid restraints, unless they are necessary to prevent serious physical injury or death. It defines these techniques by their intent to control breathing or restrict blood flow and movement, respectively. Under the new rules, any improper use of these holds would result in the immediate dismissal of the officer and the revocation of their license. The legislation aims to limit the circumstances under which these high-risk tactics can be employed by peace officers.
