On page 2, beginning on line 4 of the striking amendment, after "ankles" strike all material through "wrists" on line 10 and insert "directly to bound or restrained wrists in a manner that either:

(a) Requires a person with their hands restrained in front of their body to contort their upper body to less than a 90-degree angle from their lower body, bend their knees, or both; or

(b) Requires a person with their hands restrained behind their body to arch their back, bend their knees, or both.

"Hog-tie" or "hog-tying" does not include the use of transport chains or waist chains to transport prisoners"

EFFECT: Narrows the definition of hog-tie to mean fastening together bound or restrained ankles directly to bound or restrained wrists in a manner that requires the restrained person to contort or arch their body, bend their knees, or both in a specified manner, rather than fastening together bound or restrained ankles to bound or restrained wrists. Eliminates language exempting the use of a product or device that does not require bound or restrained ankles to be fastened together to bound or restrained wrists from the definition of hog-tie.
