The GOP-controlled Senate opposes most of the House reforms, including:
Civilian oversight boards
Early access to body camera footage for families
An early warning system to track problem officers
“We re not going to go with any what I would call anti-police measures that tie their hands so they can t do their job they need to do keep our streets safe,” Senate Majority Leader Paul Gazelka told reporters this week.
Gazelka and other Senate Republicans say that former officer Derek Chauvin’s murder conviction took pressure off lawmakers to act this session. He said he would only support those changes that have the blessing of statewide law enforcement organizations.
