Bill > SB120

This bill, known as the Tristan Hollis Memorial Act, requires all state, county, and municipal law enforcement agencies that conduct emergency response and vehicular pursuits to adopt written policies outlining how these operations should be carried out, with agencies having the option to create their own policies or use existing models, provided they are consistent with the act's requirements, and these policies must address pursuits that cross into other jurisdictions, with failure to comply potentially leading to the withholding of state or state-administered federal funding. Furthermore, law enforcement agencies are prohibited from authorizing a vehicular pursuit unless specific conditions are met, including adherence to Section 32-5A-7 of the Code of Alabama 1975, and there is probable cause to believe the individual being pursued has committed or is committing serious offenses such as murder, burglary in the first degree, kidnapping, human trafficking, rape, sodomy, sexual torture, domestic violence in the first degree, arson in the first degree, robbery in the first degree, terrorism, aggravated child abuse, or any offense that poses an immediate threat of death or serious bodily injury, or a substantial threat to the safety of another individual. This act is set to become effective on October 1, 2026.
