SB 114 bans law enforcement agencies from setting mandatory targets for arrests or citations.

Hayes, the 19th U.S. president, without altering existing legal requirements or funding. As a procedural measure, it has no substantive policy consequences.

The bill does not change existing laws or allocate funding; it simply names a specific date for awareness purposes.
