GOP unveils police-reform bill as Democrats begin moving their legislation through committee
Greater disclosure of police use of force and no-knock warrants, and financial incentives for local law enforcement departments to ban chokeholds, are the centerpieces of a Senate GOP policing reform bill announced Wednesday.
The legislation includes emergency grant programs to increase the use of body cameras on officers, makes lynching a federal hate crime, and creates a commission to study the social conditions and discrimination facing Black men and boys.The Senate will hold a procedural vote on Scott’s bill next week, McConnell said. But it remains unclear whether the measure will have enough support from Democrats to meet the 60-vote threshold to advance.
“The Senate Republican proposal on policing does not rise to the moment,” Schumer said. “The real challenge is whether Senate Republicans will be able to step up to the plate and rise to the moment and vote for a bill that actually solves the problem.”White House Press Secretary Kayleigh McEnany said the president supports Scott’s bill.
Leaders in both chambers have indicated they want to get legislation to the president’s desk by July 4. Though the two proposals remain far apart, senators and representatives pointed to similarities.Both the Senate GOP and House Democrats’ legislation would link federal funding — which many local police departments rely on — to their use of chokeholds.
