AI Summary
This bill amends Pennsylvania laws to provide new requirements and restrictions for law enforcement actions. It prohibits certain use of force techniques by police officers, such as chokeholds and prolonged prone restraints, except when deadly force is permitted. The bill also requires law enforcement agencies to maintain records of all use of force incidents and report this data annually to the Pennsylvania State Police, which will then compile a statewide report. The goal is to increase transparency and oversight regarding the use of force by law enforcement in the state.
