Bill > HR129

This bill, the "No More Tulias: Drug Law Enforcement Evidentiary Standards Improvement Act of 2021," aims to increase the evidentiary standard required to convict a person for a drug offense and to require screening of law enforcement officers participating in drug task forces. The key provisions are: (1) prohibiting states from receiving certain Department of Justice law enforcement assistance funds unless they either do not fund any anti-drug task forces or have laws requiring corroborating evidence beyond just officer or informant testimony for drug convictions, and requiring evaluation of the honesty and integrity of officers participating in task forces; and (2) requiring states receiving these funds to collect and report data on the racial distribution of drug charges, the nature of the charges, and the jurisdiction where the charges were made.
