• The House and the Senate were in session this week, with the House approving sweeping Highlighted 1 I s s u e s legislation on policing reform, and the Senate failing to overcome procedural hurdles to pass its own policing reform legislation. Given the deep disagreements on the two com- This Week’s 5 peting measures, it is unlikely a policing reform proposal will be signed into law anytime H e a r i n g s / soon. However, we anticipate many of these proposals will be debated when the House M a r k u p s and Senate considers its appropriations bills.

Policing Reform • The House approved its policing reform bill this week, while the Senate was unable to overcome the 60 vote threshold required to move debate forward and consider amendments. In lieu of a bipartisan agreement, it is unlikely that a polic- ing reform measure will be signed in to law. Despite this, when the House and Senate moves forward with its consider- ation of the annual appropriations bills, it is likely many of these policing reform proposals will be considered.

• Executive Order on Policing - The President issued an Executive Order last week on Safe Policing for Safe Com- munities. The Executive Order instructs the Department of Justice to allocate discretionary grant funding to police departments that are certified by federally approved bodies in police training and de-escalation techniques. You can view the Executive Order here.

Republican Policing Reform Proposal: • S. 3985 / H.R. 7278 - JUSTICE Act Status: Failed motion to invoke cloture in the Senate on 6/24; Introduced 6/17. Summary: This legislation is the Republican counterproposal to the Democrats policing reform legislation. This bill would provide more than $1 billion in emergency funding over five years for various efforts to change policing policy in the U.S. You can find a detailed section by section summary of this legislation here.

Democrat Policing Reform Proposal: • H.R. 7120 / S. 3912 - George Floyd Justice in Policing Act of 2020 Status: Approved by the House on 6/25. Summary: This bill addresses a wide range of policies and issues regarding policing practices and law enforcement accountability. It includes measures to increase accountability for law enforcement misconduct, to enhance transparen- cy and data collection, and to eliminate discriminatory policing practices. The bill facilitates federal enforcement of con- stitutional violations (e.g., excessive use of force) by state and local law enforcement. Among other things, it does the following: lowers the criminal intent standard—from willful to knowing or reckless—to convict a law enforcement of- ficer for misconduct in a federal prosecution, limits qualified immunity as a defense to liability in a private civil action against a law enforcement officer or state correctional officer, and authorizes the Department of Justice to issue sub- poenas in investigations of police departments for a pattern or practice of discrimination. The bill also creates a national registry—the National Police Misconduct Registry—to compile data on complaints and records of police misconduct. It establishes a framework to prohibit racial profiling at the federal, state, and local levels. The bill establishes new re- quirements for law enforcement officers and agencies, including to report data on use-of-force incidents, to obtain training on implicit bias and racial profiling, and to wear body cameras. You can find a detailed section by section sum- mary of this legislation here.

• ARTICLES OF INTEREST: FCC pursuing new spectrum policy for public-safety communications, official says Urgent Communications | Donny Jackson FCC officials are taking a new approach to public-safety spectrum policy, abandoning exclusive-use airwaves in favor of multi-purpose broadband frequencies that can be leveraged to support wireless communications for both first respond- ers and the general public, according to an FCC official. David Furth, deputy chief of the FCC’s public-safety and home- land-security bureau, described the philosophical change as a “transformation,” noting that the FCC historically allocat- ed spectrum for public safety’s exclusive use when he joined the agency in the early 1990s. “Those exclusive allocations are still there, they’re very important, and I think they will continue to be very important for certainly the indefinite future, because that’s where a lot of the mission-critical communications that public safety relies on take place,” Furth said last week as part of a keynote interview during Mission Critical Partners’ Conference for Advancing Public Safety (CAPS) online event.

Recreational pot laws may boost traffic deaths, studies say ABC News | Lindsey Tanner, AP medical writer Laws legalizing recreational marijuana may lead to more traffic deaths, two new studies suggest, although questions remain about how they might influence driving habits. Previous research has had mixed results and the new studies, published Monday in JAMA Internal Medicine, can’t prove that the traffic death increases they found were caused by marijuana use. One study found an excess 75 traffic deaths per year after retail sales began in Colorado in January 2014, compared with states without similar laws. But it found no similar change in Washington state. Continue reading here.

Policing overhaul hinges on compromise Roll Call | Shawn Zeller Representatives and senators have now laid the groundwork for legislation to protect African Americans from police brutality and to improve policing across the land. Less than a month since Minneapolis police officer Derek Chauvin killed George Floyd, Congress finds itself in a rare place. Both Republicans and Democrats are galvanized to act and act quickly. But whether that feeling of urgency, driven by the multitudes protesting, leads to a new law now depends on whether they are willing to compromise. That willingness is still rarer. And following through will depend, in part, on how rigidly lawmakers view the policy disputes separating them, around whether the federal government should order police departments to make changes, or use incentives to encourage them to, and on whether the government should allow citizens to sue individual police officers. Continue reading here.

AP-NORC Poll: Nearly all in US back criminal justice reform AP |Colleen Long and Hannah Fingerhut Americans overwhelmingly want clear standards on when police officers may use force and consequences for officers who do so excessively, according to a new poll that finds nearly all Americans favor at least some level of change to the nation’s criminal justice system. The new poll from The Associated Press-NORC Center for Public Affairs Re- search also finds there is strong support for penalizing officers who engage in racially biased policing. Americans are more likely now than five years ago to say that police violence against the public is a very serious problem and that of- ficers who cause injury or death on the job are treated too leniently. Continue reading here.

Tim Scott: Police 'need more resources, not less resources' to compel reform The Hill | Justine Coleman Sen. Tim Scott (R-S.C.) said Sunday that police “need more resources, not less resources” to compel reform within their departments after the death of George Floyd sparked calls for change across the country. The senator, who led the efforts to draft the Republicans’ police reform bill, told ABC’s “This Week” that he believes more resources and increased penalties for falsifying police reports can help prevent deaths. “We believe that you actually need more re- sources, not less resources,” he said. “If you want officers to be trained effectively, you have to give them the tools called training to get there. That requires more resources.” Continue reading here.

Intel report warns that far-right extremists may target Washington, D.C. Politico | Natasha Bertrand The Trump administration is warning law enforcement and public safety officials that a far-right extremist movement known as “boogaloo” may be setting its sights on the nation’s capital. On Monday, the National Capital Region Threat Intelligence Consortium, a fusion center for Washington, D.C., that provides support to federal national security and law enforcement agencies, warned in an intelligence assessment that “the District is likely an attractive target for vio- lent adherents of the boogaloo ideology due to the significant presence of US law enforcement entities, and the wide range of First Amendment-Protected events hosted here.” Continue reading here.
