(Boston, MA) The Massachusetts House of Representatives has approved its own Police Reform Bill by a 93-66 vote. This bill seeks to create a police certification system in the state and curb use of force tactics by police officers. Police Reform advocates argue that this bill does not do enough by failing to address qualified immunity. Police unions on the other side argue that the bill goes too far by limiting use of force tactics and thus poses a public safety risk. Senate and House leaders are looking into an extended session to include bills in conference and and the State budget.
