The proposed bill, known as the "Joshua Conant Act," mandates that establishments licensed to sell alcohol, such as nightclubs, bars, and restaurants, must hire bouncers who have completed specific training in positional asphyxiation. This training is essential for individuals whose job may involve restraining others, ensuring they are equipped to handle situations without compromising the safety of patrons. The bill defines key terms, including "bouncer" and "establishment," and emphasizes the importance of proper training to prevent incidents related to mechanical asphyxia.

Additionally, the bill requires the Michigan Commission on Law Enforcement Standards to create rules regarding the training requirements for bouncers, following the administrative procedures act of 1969. Establishments that fail to comply with these regulations will face penalties as outlined in the Michigan liquor control code. The act will only take effect if House Bill No. 5061 is also enacted into law.
