AI Summary

The bill also requires law enforcement agencies to continuously review and update their policies to ensure compliance with the law and to make their use of force policies publicly available. The bill defines key terms such as "deadly force," "de-escalation technique," and "objectively reasonable" to provide context for the policy requirements.
