11 (b) "Blocking technology" means hardware, software, firmware, or other

16 would produce a firearm or illegal firearm parts.
17 (c) "Firearms blueprint detection algorithm" means a software service
18 that evaluates three-dimensional printing files, whether in the form of
19 stereolithography (STL) files or other computer aided design files or
20 geometric code, to determine if they can be used to program a three-di-

23 illegal firearm parts.
24 (d) "Illegal firearm parts" means an unfinished frame or receiver, a
25 major component of a firearm, or any part designed and intended for use
26 in converting a semi-automatic weapon into a machine gun, including, but

10 improvement of blocking technology and firearm blueprint detection algo-
11 rithms. The division shall establish safeguards to prevent unauthorized
12 access to and misuse of the library and shall prohibit all persons who
13 are granted access to the library from misusing, selling, disseminating,
14 or otherwise publishing its contents.

22 following terms shall have the following meanings:
23 (a) "Critical incident" shall mean the following actions when
24 performed by a member or experienced by a member in the course of offi-
25 cial duties: (i) an action that directly causes serious physical injury
26 or death to another person or member; (ii) a discharge of a firearm by a

29 ous physical injury or death; or (iv) any other incident deemed appro-
30 priate by the superintendent or their designee.
31 (b) "Serious physical injury" shall mean an injury that, based on the
32 facts and circumstances reasonably known at the time of the incident,
33 appears to involve a substantial risk of death or an obvious and severe
34 impairment of a major bodily function, such that a reasonable person
35 would conclude the injury is life-threatening or significantly life-al-
36 tering, without regard to later medical findings, prognosis, or outcome.
37 The determination of a "serious physical injury" shall be made by the
38 superintendent or their designee based on the observable conditions and
39 available information at the time the supervisor arrives at the scene of
40 the critical incident, and shall not be affected by subsequent medical
41 evaluation or recovery. "Serious physical injury" shall include, but not
42 be limited to, suspected spinal cord injury or paralysis, severe pene-
43 trating head injury, massive blood loss, or loss of limb.
44 (c) "Directly involved" shall mean any member who was physically pres-
45 ent within the immediate proximity of a critical incident at the time it
46 occurred and whose direct exposure to the incident placed the member
47 within the immediate zone of operational engagement, regardless of
48 whether the member discharged a weapon or otherwise used force.
49 (d) "Primary member" means any directly involved member who justifi-
50 ably used deadly physical force during the critical incident, or whose
51 actions during the critical incident appear to be the most immediate and
52 substantial cause of death or serious physical injury to a person.
53 2. The superintendent shall develop, maintain, and disseminate to all
54 members of the division of state police a critical incident paid leave
A. 10005--B 11
1 policy that provides for paid critical incident leave in accordance with
2 this section.
3 3. Such critical incident paid leave policy shall guarantee: (a) paid
4 critical incident leave of at least twenty calendar days for any primary
5 member whose official actions were the direct and proximate cause of the
6 death of another person; (b) paid critical incident leave of at least
7 ten calendar days for any other member directly involved in the critical
8 incident; and (c) paid critical incident leave under such other circum-
9 stances the superintendent or their designee determines appropriate.
10 Such leave shall constitute a separate category of leave and shall not
11 count against vacation, sick, or personal leave accruals. Such leave,
12 where appropriate, shall be designated as family and medical leave act
13 and/or count against a member's workers compensation leave entitlement.
14 4. Critical incident paid leave shall begin as soon as possible after
15 the critical incident, provided that initial supervisory inquiries of
16 the involved members shall occur before leave commences. Critical inci-
17 dent leave may only be delayed to ensure minimum necessary staffing
18 levels or protect community safety. Delays shall only be as long as
19 necessary to address such concerns. Upon agreement of the member and the
20 superintendent or their designee, the member shall be allowed to return
21 to duty prior to the completion of the period of critical incident
22 leave.
23 5. In any case where critical incident paid leave has been made to a
24 member, and it is thereafter determined that a critical incident did not
25 occur or that the member's actions that resulted in the serious physical
26 injury or death of another person were not justified, the superintendent
27 or their designee may order the deduction of equivalent vacation or
28 personal leave days and/or the withholding of future paid leave to such
29 member, provided that the amount of days deducted and/or withheld shall
30 not be more than the critical incident paid leave days that were
31 originally provided.
32 6. The superintendent shall be prohibited from taking any punitive
33 administrative action against any member granted critical incident leave
34 under this section solely on the basis of the provision of such leave
35 unless the leave was provided, at least in part, based upon the member's
36 fraud, deceit, or misrepresentation.
37 7. The superintendent is authorized to promulgate rules and regu-
38 lations to implement, administer, and enforce the provisions of this
39 section.
40 § 2. This act shall take effect on the one hundred twentieth day after
