The bill amends Section 224a of the Michigan Penal Code to regulate the sale and possession of devices that use electrical currents to incapacitate individuals. It prohibits the sale, offering for sale, or possession of such devices, with specific exceptions for peace officers and other trained individuals who are authorized to use these devices in the course of their official duties. Notably, the bill introduces the term "conducted electrical energy CD3 technology" alongside "electro-muscular disruption technology," expanding the types of devices covered under the law.

Additionally, the bill outlines the conditions under which these devices may be possessed and used, including the requirement for individuals to hold a valid concealed pistol license and to receive training on the use and risks of the devices. It also specifies penalties for violations, including felony charges for unlawful possession and misdemeanors for improper use. The bill further clarifies definitions related to the devices and the individuals authorized to use them, ensuring that the law is comprehensive in addressing the use of electrical incapacitation devices in Michigan.
