George Floyd Justice in Policing Act of 2025
Introduced: Sep 15, 2025
Civil Rights & Justice
Standard Summary
Comprehensive overview in 1-2 paragraphs
This comprehensive legislation overhauls police accountability through qualified immunity reform, establishes national misconduct registries, bans racial profiling with mandatory data collection, prohibits no-knock warrants in drug cases, and criminalizes sexual misconduct by officers under color of law. It mandates body-worn cameras, restricts military equipment transfers to police, and requires anti-bias training while creating pathways for pattern-or-practice investigations against departments.
Key Points
- 1Eliminates qualified immunity as a defense in civil rights lawsuits against officers by removing 'clearly established law' requirement for constitutional violations
- 2Creates a National Police Misconduct Registry requiring federal and local agencies to report use-of-force incidents and racial profiling complaints disaggregated by demographics
- 3Bans chokeholds and carotid restraints nationwide while prohibiting no-knock warrants in drug cases and requiring de-escalation tactics before using force
Impact Areas
