COUNTY OF SAN DIEGO BOARD OF SUPERVISORS TUESDAY, MAY 04, 2021 MINUTE ORDER NO. 24 SUBJECT: SUPPORTING H.R. 1280, THE GEORGE FLOYD JUSTICE IN POLICING ACT (DISTRICTS: ALL) OVERVIEW On May 25, 2020, George Floyd was brutally murdered on a Minneapolis, Minnesota street by Minneapolis police officer Derek Chauvin. The murder of George Floyd, an unarmed Black man, at the hands of police, and the events surrounding his death captured and highlighted the fear and deep distrust that Black, Indigenous, Latino, Asian American Pacific Islander, and all people of color have of law enforcement and the racial inequities and disparities that exist across the United States. George Floyd’s murder was a catalyst for a movement of people across the world demanding an end to police brutality, systemic racism and calling for substantive reforms. To address the deep-rooted reforms needed within law enforcement, shortly after the murder in 2020 Representative Karen Bass of California, Representative Jerrold Nadler of New York, Senator Cory Booker of New Jersey and then-Senator Kamala Harris of California introduced H.R. 7120, the George Floyd Justice in Policing Act. The George Floyd Justice in Policing Act seeks to hold police accountable, end racial profiling, change the culture of law enforcement, and build trust between law enforcement and communities by addressing racism and bias. While H.R. 7120 did not move in the 116th Congress, the bill was reintroduced as H.R. 1280 in February 2021 in the 117th Congress and passed the United States House of Representatives in March as the trial of Derek Chauvin was set to begin. Today’s action will direct the Chief Administrative Officer to express the County’s support for H.R. 1280, the George Floyd Justice in Policing Act, consistent with Board Policy M-2. RECOMMENDATION(S) CHAIR NATHAN FLETCHER Direct the Chief Administrative Officer to express the County’s support for H.R. 1280, the George Floyd Justice in Policing Act, consistent with Board Policy M-2.
