Stevens Votes to Pass the George Floyd Justice in Policing Act | 2021-03-03 | 2021 | 2021-03 | Democrat | House | MI | Haley M. Stevens | S001215 | stevens.house.gov | stevens | https://stevens.house.gov/media/press-releases | scraper | WASHINGTON - Tonight, Rep. Haley Stevens voted to pass H.R. 1280, the George Floyd Justice in Policing Act. “Passage of the George Floyd Justice in Policing Act is a critical step to address the issues of police brutality and racial discrimination,” said Congresswoman Stevens. “This bill will support additional training, community-oriented policing, body and dashboard cameras, and other measures to increase accountability and transparency for law enforcement. We have to pursue real reform to build a strong basis of trust between police departments and the communities they serve.” This bill will: • Prohibit federal, state, and local law enforcement from racial, religious and discriminatory profiling • Mandate training on racial, religious, and discriminatory profiling for all law enforcement. • Ban chokeholds at the federal level and allocates funding for state and local governments banning chokeholds. • End no-knock warrants in drug cases at the federal level • Require that deadly force be used only as a last resort and requires officers to employ de-escalation techniques first • Make it a crime for a federal law enforcement officer to engage in a sexual act with an individual who is under arrest, in detention, or in custody Congresswoman Stevens supported this bill when it passed the House in June, 2020. | 1 | 2026-03-30T01:40:41Z | 2026-04-06T19:33:37Z |
