Establishes crime of law enforcement officer choking another person; designated as George Floyd's Law.

This bill (A870) makes it a first-degree crime for law enforcement officers to knowingly apply pressure to a person's throat, windpipe, or carotid artery - hindering breathing or blood flow to the brain. It directly affects police officers in New Jersey who use such chokeholds during arrests. The law imposes penalties of 10-20 years in prison, fines up to $200,000, or both for violating this provision. It is designated "George Floyd’s Law" following the death of George Floyd, who died during a chokehold arrest in Minneapolis. The bill criminalizes tactics previously banned by New Jersey police policy in 2020.
