In the evening of April 6th, State Senators convened for a floor debate on HB 1054 - an act concerning police accountability, tactics and equipment used during arrests. HB 1054 is a highly-contentious bill that passed out of the house in late February, and has been amended in both chambers as of April 6th. In its original form, the bill proposed to end police use of chokeholds and neck restraints, off-leash dogs, shooting during hot pursuits, military equipment, tear gas, and no-knock warrants.
