Requires law enforcement agencies to adopt a policy that prohibits officers from shooting at moving vehicles except when necessary to defend against deadly force from means other than the vehicle itself, so fewer situations where officers may discharge firearms.
A policy adopted under this article must prohibit a peace officer from discharging a firearm at or in the direction of a moving vehicle unless the peace officer discharges the firearm only when and to the degree the officer reasonably believes is immediately necessary to protect the officer or another person from the use of unlawful deadly force by an occupant of the vehicle by means other than by using the moving vehicle to strike any person.

Why the model tagged it this way: The bill requires all law enforcement agencies to adopt a policy that restricts when peace officers may discharge a firearm at or toward a moving vehicle, limiting it to situations involving deadly force by means other than the vehicle itself. This directly addresses use of firearms by officers and falls under the firearms topic with the 'other' subtag, as it is not one of the listed subtopics like background checks or red-flag orders. No other listed topics are substantively addressed.
