Bill > H2182

This bill makes it unlawful for any sworn law officer, including police officers, correctional officers, and sheriff deputies, to use language that negatively reflects on an individual's race, color, ethnic origin, religion, economic status, or any other category of negative stereotyping, or to use racial slurs, name-calling, or profanity directed at another person while on duty. The bill states that such language use is a violation of an officer's oath of office and can be grounds for dismissal from their position, emphasizing that this prohibition applies regardless of any existing laws to the contrary.
