Oregon legislators passed 10 police accountability bills through the House Judiciary Committee on Tuesday, marking a major bipartisan step toward law enforcement reform.
The bills include directives for investigating officers’ backgrounds more thoroughly before hiring them, regulating the types of munitions and weapons police can use, creating a public database with information about officers’ misconduct and discipline, and requiring officers to have specific identification on their uniforms when working in a crowd.
The House Judiciary Committee is chaired by Janelle Bynum, a Clackamas Democrat. Ron Noble, a McMinnville Republican, and Karin Power, a Milwaukie Democrat, are the vice chairs.
