AI Summary

This bill, titled the "Just and Unifying Solutions To Invigorate Communities Everywhere Act of 2021" or the "JUSTICE Act", proposes a number of reforms and initiatives to improve policing practices, accountability, and transparency. Key provisions include: - Establishing a national data collection system to track use-of-force incidents involving law enforcement, including fatalities, serious injuries, and firearm discharges. States and local governments that fail to comply face funding reductions. - Requiring states and local governments to report on no-knock warrants, including information on when force is used and whether injuries or fatalities occurred. - Providing grants to assist states and local governments in collecting the required use-of-force and no-knock warrant data. - Incentivizing the banning of chokeholds by making law enforcement agencies ineligible for certain federal funding if they do not have policies prohibiting the use of chokeholds except when deadly force is authorized. - Creating a new federal offense for falsifying police incident reports related to civil rights violations resulting in serious injury or death. - Establishing a Body-Worn Camera Partnership Grant Program to help state and local governments purchase and implement body-worn camera programs. - Requiring law enforcement agencies receiving federal funds to have policies in place to discipline officers who intentionally fail to use required body-worn cameras. - Creating a National Criminal Justice Commission to conduct a comprehensive review of the criminal justice system and make recommendations for reforms. The bill also includes provisions related to law enforcement training, records retention, lynching, consent loopholes, and emergency funding designations.
