House panel advances funding bill mandating police reform
The House Appropriations Committee on Tuesday advanced a funding bill with a slew of police reforms that are unlikely to make it through the GOP-controlled Senate.
The committee sent the spending bill to the House in a 30-22 party-line vote.
Democrats loaded the $71.4 billion Commerce, Justice, Science (CJS) appropriations bill for fiscal 2021 with several policy riders and waivers aimed at reining in police violence and racial discrimination in the justice system.
"Our nation is in the midst of a moment of reckoning with its history of racial discrimination, denials of civil rights, and police violence," said subcommittee chair José Serrano (D-N.Y.).
