Bill > HR4331

This bill, the Police Accountability Act of 2017, aims to amend Title 18 of the United States Code to provide a penalty for assault or homicide committed by certain state or local law enforcement officers who receive federal funding under the Omnibus Crime Control and Safe Streets Act. Specifically, the bill states that if a state or local law enforcement officer engages in conduct in the line of duty that would constitute an offense under Section 1111 (murder) or 1112 (manslaughter) of Title 18, they shall be punished as provided for that offense under those sections. The bill defines a "state or local law enforcement officer" as an employee of a state or local government who has statutory authority to make arrests, is authorized to carry firearms, and whose duties primarily involve law enforcement or protecting government officials.
