This bill aims to restrict the use of chemical agents and kinetic energy projectiles by law enforcement officers during assemblies, protests, or demonstrations. It establishes that officers are prohibited from using these methods unless they have received proper training and can demonstrate that their use is necessary to defend against a threat to life or serious bodily injury. The bill defines "chemical agents" and "kinetic energy projectiles," providing specific examples of each, and outlines the conditions under which their use is permissible.

Additionally, the bill mandates that law enforcement agencies submit detailed reports to the Department of State Police within 60 days following any use of chemical agents or kinetic energy projectiles. These reports must include information about the event, the type and quantity of agents used, any injuries resulting from their use, and the de-escalation measures attempted prior to their deployment. Agencies are also required to publish these reports on their websites, ensuring transparency and accountability in the use of such forceful measures.
