Why the model tagged it this way: The bill adds uniform training requirements for law enforcement on use of force, implicit bias (including shoot/don't shoot bias testing with hiring consequences), proper use of firearms, de-escalation, and engagement with various groups including transgender individuals. These are training mandates only with no changes to civilian access to firearms, no new restrictions on gun ownership/carry, no abortion provisions, and no immigration enforcement changes. The bias testing in hiring/certification has a restrictive effect on who can become or remain a law enforcement officer in certain roles,,
