Senator Fischer Helps Introduce JUSTICE Act

Statement

U.S. Senator Deb Fischer (R-Neb.) today helped introduce the Just and Unifying Solutions to Invigorate Communities Everywhere (JUSTICE) Act as an original cosponsor. The legislation would provide long-term solutions focused on police reform and transparency, while also developing efforts to rectify systemic issues affecting people of color.

"In the wake of the horrific murder of George Floyd, I have been listening for solutions on how to restore necessary trust between the police and the communities they protect. The JUSTICE ACT includes solid reforms to increase accountability in policing, while helping police departments improve their hiring and training processes. By passing this legislation, we can work to heal our nation and ensure that all Americans have equal protection under the law, regardless of skin color," said Senator Fischer.
