Prohibits the involuntary use of sedatives during an arrest
This bill prohibits law enforcement from administering or directing the administration of sedatives to individuals during an arrest without that person's consent. It directly affects police officers during arrest procedures and individuals being arrested. The law amends existing rules by adding involuntary sedative use to the list of prohibited force tactics. This creates a clear legal restriction against using sedatives without consent in arrest situations.
