The Senate voted Tuesday to nullify a soft-on-crime bill introduced by Washington, DC, council members that would have changed rules governing use of force and officer misconduct.
The upper chamber voted 56-43 to repeal the Comprehensive Policing and Justice Reform Amendment Act of 2022, which the DC Council passed in December., Jon Tester of Montana, Jeanne Shaheen of New Hampshire, Catherine Cortez Masto of Nevada, Maggie Hassan of New Hampshire and Jacky Rosen of Nevada all voted for the repeal, along with independents Angus King of Maine and Kyrsten Sinema of Arizona.The White House said in April that President Biden would veto the bill if it reached his desk.
The act would also ban officers from using some chokeholds and mandate the release of body-cam footage from all officer-involved shootings, though the Metropolitan Police Department routinely distributes such information already.The bill would have removed DC cops from use of force and disciplinary review boards that investigate police misconduct.Rep.

“I support D.C. Statehood and home-rule — but I don’t support some of the changes D.C. Council put forward over the Mayor’s objections – such as lowering penalties for carjackings,” he said in a tweet. “If the Senate votes to overturn what D.C. Council did — I’ll sign it.” Sen. J.D. Vance introduced the Senate version of the bill last week and pushed it to a floor vote Tuesday.
