Tasers; adopt certain guidelines for use, require training by law enforcement officers.

SB 2317 requires Mississippi law enforcement officers to limit taser use to situations where deadly force would be permitted and prohibits using tasers on vulnerable groups, including children, pregnant women, the elderly, people with mental illness, and those under the influence of drugs. Officers must document every taser deployment with specific details about the subject (such as age, health, and intoxication) and the circumstances, while banning taser use for punishment or against passive resistors. The bill mandates that the state's Law Enforcement Officer Standards and Training Board, in partnership with the Department of Public Safety, create policies and provide training that avoids conflicts of interest with taser-selling companies. These changes aim to increase accountability and reduce misuse of tasers by police.
