The original version of HB 2074 has already passed the full House. It
has now passed the Senate Judiciary committee by a vote of 6-1. From
here, it's headed to the Senate Committee of the Whole.
As HB 2074 progresses, we will "alert" you when it's time to contact
your Senator to push for passage by the full Senate.
Thank you for your work in getting HB 2074 this far!

Force Science News Update

NY SENATOR PULLS "SHOOT-TO-WOUND" BILL AFTER GETTING LAW ENFORCEMENT
FEEDBACK
In Force Science News #39 (transmitted Mon., Feb. 27) we spotlighted the
fact that Democratic NY Senator David Paterson had introduced
legislation designed to force officers in deadly force situations to try
and shoot violent suspects in the arms or legs to stop them.
Yesterday (Tues., Feb 28), after a "productive and positive meeting"
with John Grebert, executive director of the NYS Association of Chiefs
of Police, Paterson has decided to pull the bill. This decision comes 5
years after first introducing it and receiving no feedback from law
enforcement.
You can find more information on the decision on the Senator's web site at:
