RELEASEKHANNA, PADILLA INTRODUCE LANDMARK POLICE REFORM BILL TO PREVENT THE USE OF LETHAL FORCE
"Washington, D.C. — Today, U.S. Representative Ro Khanna (D-CA) and U.S. Senator Alex Padilla (D-CA) joined forces to introduce the PEACE Act to change the federal standard for the use of force by federal officers to require that force be used only when necessary to prevent imminent death or serious bodily injury. The PEACE Act was passed by the House in the George Floyd Justice in Policing Act last Congress. This is the first time the bill has been introduced in the Senate.
The groundbreaking use of force reform legislation would also incentivize states who wish to receiving additional public safety funding from the U.S. Department of Justice to enact similar legislation to require a comparable standard for local police officers. The federal effort builds on California’s historic legislation (AB 392, "Act to Save Lives") enshrining the “necessity” standard.
“The use of force should always be a last resort. This bill is about preventing the deadly escalation of force to save innocent lives and protect police officer’s lives as well. Everyone is safer when we prioritize communication and de-escalation,” said Rep. Khanna. “I’m proud to be introducing a historic police reform bill with Senator Padilla. This is a change that is long overdue.”"
