communication, negotiation, and de-escalation techniques.
(b) Level of force that is an objectively reasonable response to an identified and
articulable threat or resistance that is based on information available at the time of the
incident and that requires constant reevaluation as circumstances dictate and allow.
(c) Training that provides law enforcement officers with awareness and recognition of
indicators of physical or mental disabilities, mental health issues, developmental disabilities,
and substance abuse issues, with an emphasis on effective communication and de-escalation
techniques.
(d) As appropriate with the nature and immediacy of the threat to public safety, the
use of distance, cover, and time when approaching and managing critical incidents, in order
to help create a safety zone between the law enforcement officer and the subject, to afford the
officer more time to react to the circumstances.
(e) A law enforcement officer's responsibility to intervene in a situation if another law
enforcement officer's actions indicate that the officer has lost self-control or use of force is
not objectively reasonable to the level of resistance encountered.

enhance de-escalation techniques and skills.
(3) An individual seeking to become a law enforcement officer or a person who is
already a licensed law enforcement officer may meet the standards for implicit bias training

law enforcement officers in its employ will utilize de-escalation techniques in his or her
interactions with citizens to the extent that it is reasonable and as safe as possible.

regarding the bias implicit in all humans and how to help ensure unconscious bias does not
inhibit fair and impartial law enforcement.
(d) "Procedural justice training" means training based on the principles of treating
individuals with dignity and respect, giving citizens a voice during encounters, being neutral
in decision-making, and conveying trustworthy motives while emphasizing law
enforcement's role in the context of the larger criminal justice system.
(e) "Training gap" means identified behavioral or performance deficiencies caused by
a lack of skill or knowledge.
(7) The unexpended funds appropriated in part 1 for bias and de-escalation training

provided in this subsection, a challenger must not serve as a challenger at any election unless

signed certificate of completion for that election challenger training. If a challenger attended
election challenger training within 90 days before an August primary election and that
challenger received a signed certificate of completion for that election challenger training,
that challenger may serve as a challenger at the subsequent general November election
without having to attend election challenger training unless there has been a statutory change
that requires election challenger training to be updated for the subsequent general November
election. Except as otherwise provided in this section, a candidate for nomination or election
to an office shall not serve as a challenger in any precinct in the jurisdiction in which he or
she is a candidate at the election in which he or she is a candidate. A candidate for the office
of delegate to a county convention may serve as a challenger in a precinct other than the 1 in
which he or she is a candidate. An individual who is appointed as an election inspector at an
election shall not act as a challenger at any time during the election day.
(3) Not less than 45 days and not more than 100 days before each primary, general,
and special election, each county clerk and the secretary of state must offer election
challenger training for each political party, incorporated organization, or organized committee
of interested citizens that seeks to designate challengers at the election. The election
challenger training must include, but not be limited to, comprehensive training regarding the
processes and procedures on election day, the powers, rights, and duties of election
challengers, and training for both precinct polling places and absent voter counting boards.
(4) If a political party, incorporated organization, or organized committee of interested
citizens seeks to designate challengers at an election, that political party, incorporated
organization, or organized committee of interested citizens must attend and complete the
election challenger training. A political party, incorporated organization, or organized
committee of interested citizens is only required to attend and complete the election
challenger training once before each primary, general, and special election as offered by the
secretary of state or any county clerk.
(5) The secretary of state shall create and maintain a registry that includes each
political party, incorporated organization, and organized committee of interested citizens that
completes the election challenger training under this section. For each political party,
incorporated organization, and organized committee of interested citizens in the registry, the
name of each individual who attended the training and the name of a contact person for that
political party, incorporated organization, or organized committee of interested citizens must
be included in the registry. If a political party, incorporated organization, or organized
committee of interested citizens attends and completes the election challenger training from a
county clerk, that county clerk must immediately notify the secretary of state and the
secretary of state must add the name of that political party, incorporated organization, or
organized committee of interested citizens, the name of each individual who attended the
training, and the contact information for that political party, incorporated organization, or
organized committee of interested citizens to the registry. The secretary of state must post and
maintain the registry on the department of state’s website and make the information in the
registry available to each county clerk.
(6) Upon completion of the election challenger training, and before the primary,
general, or special election, the political party, incorporated organization, or organized
committee of interested citizens must provide election challenger training for those
individuals seeking to be election challengers for that political party, incorporated
organization, or organized committee of interested citizens. The election challenger training
for the individuals seeking to be election challengers must include, but not be limited to,
comprehensive training regarding the processes and procedures on election day and the
powers, rights, and duties of election challengers. The political party, incorporated
organization, or organized committee of interested citizens must provide separate training for
those individuals seeking to be election challengers at an absent voter counting board.
(7) Upon completion of the election challenger training, the political party,
incorporated organization, or organized committee of interested citizens must issue a
certificate of completion, signed by an officer of that political party, incorporated
organization, or organized committee of interested citizens, to the individual seeking to be an
election challenger. The political party, incorporated organization, or organized committee of
interested citizens may issue the certificate of completion electronically to the individual
seeking to be an election challenger if the electronic certificate of completion contains an
electronic signature from an officer of that political party, incorporated organization, or
organized committee of interested citizens. A signed certificate of completion is valid for 90
days after the date it is issued. The political party, incorporated organization, or organized
committee of interested citizens must maintain a record of each individual issued a signed
certificate of completion by that political party, incorporated organization, or organized
committee of interested citizens.".
