AI Summary
This bill, the End Police Use of Chokeholds Act of 2021, aims to incentivize the banning of chokeholds and carotid holds (techniques that restrict breathing or blood flow) by state and local law enforcement agencies. The bill would make states and localities ineligible for certain federal law enforcement grants (specifically the Byrne grant program and the COPS grant program) if they do not have a law in place prohibiting the use of chokeholds and carotid holds by their police officers by the start of the next fiscal year after the bill's enactment.
