# U.S. House passes George Floyd Justice in Policing Act (2021)

Date: 2021

On March 3, 2021, the U.S. House of Representatives passed the George Floyd Justice in Policing Act (H.R. 1280) by a 220-212 vote. Introduced by Representative Karen Bass, the bill would have banned chokeholds and no-knock warrants in federal drug cases, prohibited racial profiling, raised use-of-force standards, and curtailed qualified immunity so officers could more readily be held liable for misconduct. The bill stalled in the Senate, largely over the qualified-immunity provisions, and did not become law.
