H.R. 8903 · 116th Congress
National Police Misuse of Force Investigation Board Act of 2020
Key: what the circles and colors mean
Each circle is a bill. The ring fills as it moves through Congress:
Under the number: the Yea · Nay count of its final (or latest) recorded vote. On a member's page, the small badge is how that member voted: Y Yea / Aye, N Nay / No, P Present, – Not voting.
Gold and violet are only for Yea and Nay; they never mean a party. A member's party is the letter on their photo.
Never voted on. It didn't reach a floor vote before the 116th Congress ended, so it expired. A bill has to be introduced again to be considered in a new Congress.

National Police Misuse of Force Investigation Board Act of 2020
This bill establishes the National Police Misuse of Force Investigation Board to, among other duties, investigate and report on deaths that occur in police custody, officer-involved shootings, and uses of force that result in severe bodily injury in police custody.
In addition, the bill requires states and local governments that receive certain Department of Justice (DOJ) grants to (1) allow findings and recommendations of the board to be admissible in court, and (2) report on actions taken to address the recommendations of the board. DOJ may reduce allocations to states and local governments that fail to comply with these requirements.
