Requires police accountability, transparency, and training reforms nationwide.
This bill would make it easier to hold police accountable for misconduct by changing legal protections and requiring more data collection. It would also set new rules for police training and tactics, affecting federal, state, and local law enforcement agencies and the communities they serve.
Today, qualified immunity often protects law enforcement officers from civil lawsuits unless their conduct clearly violated established law. After this bill, federal and local officers would lose this defense in civil rights cases. Also, there is no national police misconduct registry, and data collection on use of force and other practices varies widely; this bill would create a national registry and require standardized data collection from all agencies.
