Bradley Byrne cosponsors ‘Justice Act’ aimed at policing reform
In the wake of two high-profile cases of black men being killed by police officers, Alabama 1st District U.S. Rep. Bradley Byrne joined on as an original cosponsor of the JUSTICE Act—Just and Unifying Solutions to Invigorate Communities Everywhere. The bill was introduced in the House on Thursday. The Justice Act provides long-term solutions focused on police reform, accountability, and transparency, while also promoting efforts to find answers to systemic issues affecting people of color, such as education and health disparities. “Equal justice for all is a core American value. There are things we can do at the Federal level to help assure that equal justice is applied throughout our country,” explained Byrne. “I am disappointed that the Democrat majority in the House of Representatives made no effort to include Republicans in drafting their bill to address law enforcement reform. The only way we can pass such a bill through both houses and send it to the President to become law is through a truly bipartisan effort.” The House version of the bill follows the introduction of the Senate version that was introduced by Senator Tim Scott (R-SC) on Wednesday. A full summary of the Justice Act can be found here.
