- Easier civil-rights suits and prosecutions: benefit, medium. If enacted, the bill would narrow qualified‑immunity defenses in civil‑rights suits.

It would also change federal criminal standards by replacing “willfully”…
- Grants for community safety and hiring: benefit, medium. If enacted, the bill would support community‑led safety work and officer hiring.

- National rules for police body cameras: mixed, high. If enacted, federal officers would need to wear body cameras and turn them on for calls and stops.

Agencies using…
- New strings on DOJ policing grants: mixed, high. If enacted, DOJ grants would come with new conditions.
