0:46Now PlayingUS lawmakers passed the most ambitious effort in decades to overhaul policing nationwide on Wednesday.
The George Floyd Justice in Policing Act was voted on by the House late Wednesday.
The sweeping legislation, which was approved last summer but stalled in the Senate, was named in honor of Floyd, whose killing by police in Minnesota last Memorial Day sparked protests nationwide.
The bill would ban chokeholds and “qualified immunity” for law enforcement and create national standards for policing in a bid to bolster accountability.
Democrats said they were determined to pass the bill a second time, to combat police brutality and institutional racism after the deaths of Floyd, Breonna Taylor and other Black Americans following interactions with law enforcement - images of which were sometimes jarringly captured on video.
Those killings drew a national and international outcry.
