Georgia Peace Officer Standards and Training Council; establish basic and in-service training courses on de-escalation techniques and methods

The bill was amended to add a specific effective date of January 1, 2026, ensuring the new training requirements are implemented at the start of the next fiscal year. A new Section 3 was added to formally repeal conflicting laws, replacing the previous Section 2 which lacked an explicit effective date clause. The core mandate for peace officer training on de-escalation techniques remains unchanged.
