Relates to the justification for the use of force in a homicide by a peace officer or police officer

This bill establishes new legal standards for when police officers may use deadly force. It states officers can only use deadly force if they reasonably believe it's necessary to prevent imminent death or serious injury to themselves or others, or to arrest someone for a violent felony that caused death or serious injury. The law requires officers to consider alternatives when safe and evaluate situations from the perspective of a reasonable officer at the time, not with hindsight. It specifically notes people with disabilities are more likely to experience excessive force during police interactions and are involved in a significant portion of fatal encounters. The bill directly affects police officers' use of force decisions and impacts individuals interacting with law enforcement, particularly those with disabilities.
