He died three days after Memphis police officers beat him following a traffic stop.
The committee says it committed to passing police reform, including the George Floyd Justice in Police Act. President Joe Biden has also called on Congress to pass the law. It would lower the criminal intent standard of an officer in question from willful to knowing or reckless. It would also limit qualified immunity as a defense to liability in a private civil action against a law enforcement officer.Biden did sign an executive order after the bill failed to reach his desk.
