George Floyd Justice in Policing Act of 2024
The George Floyd Justice in Policing Act of 2024 establishes new accountability measures for law enforcement by requiring data collection on use of force, stops, and racial profiling; creating a national misconduct registry; banning chokeholds and no-knock warrants in drug cases; and mandating body cameras for officers. The bill would affect all Federal, State, Tribal, and local law enforcement agencies receiving federal funding, particularly those participating in Byrne or COPS grant programs. It includes requirements for agencies to collect and report data on stops and searches disaggregated by race, ethnicity, and gender, and to implement training on racial bias and de-escalation techniques. The legislation also creates new reporting requirements for use of force incidents and establishes penalties for agencies failing to comply with these provisions.
