        AN  ACT  to  amend  the executive law, in relation to prohibiting police
          officers from carrying or using a firearm  during  any  phase  of  the
          officer's  official  duties  unless  the  officer  has  satisfactorily
          completed a course of training that meets or exceeds the minimum stan-
          dards established by the municipal police training council
 
          The People of the State of New York, represented in Senate and  Assem-

     4  any police officer it employs to carry or use a firearm during any phase
     5  of  the officer's official duties, which constitutes on-duty employment,
     6  unless the officer has satisfactorily completed  a  course  of  training
     7  that meets or exceeds the minimum standards established by the municipal
     8  police  training  council  in  the  use  of  deadly  physical  force and

    14  ensure  there  is no impact on a police officer's on-duty employment due

    16  from his or her precinct, command, assignment, post, squad, or  tour  of
    17  duty  as  a  result  of  such employer's failure to provide the training
    18  required under this section. In addition,  such  employer's  failure  to

     4  ing the date on which it shall have become a law.
