AN ACT REQUIRING THE REVISION OF THE MODEL PURSUIT POLICY TO ALLOW POLICE OFFICERS TO PURSUE INDIVIDUALS SUSPECTED OF COMMITTING CERTAIN PROPERTY CRIMES.

HB 5204 requires the Police Officer Standards and Training Council to revise the state's model pursuit policy, allowing police officers to pursue individuals suspected of committing certain property crimes. This change directly affects law enforcement officers by expanding their authority during pursuits related to property offenses like theft or vandalism. The bill's key provision mandates the policy revision to align with the stated purpose of better protecting the public through these pursuits. It does not specify which property crimes qualify or alter existing criminal penalties.
