What it would have done

Summary by the , the Legislature's nonpartisan drafting office. It's their wording, not ours.

This bill prohibits certain governmental activities related to warrior-style training. “Warrior-style training” is defined as training for law enforcement officers that dehumanizes people or encourages aggressive conduct by law enforcement officers during encounters with others in a manner that de-emphasizes the value of human life or constitutional rights, the result of which increases an officer’s likelihood or willingness to use deadly force.

The bill prohibits 1) law enforcement agencies from providing or arranging for warrior-style training of law enforcement officers, 2) law enforcement agencies or state agencies from reimbursing law enforcement officers or collective bargaining units that include law enforcement officers for any expenditures made to provide or arrange for warrior-style training, and 3) law enforcement agencies or state agencies from contracting for services with organizations that provide warrior-style training of law enforcement officers.
