What’s happening with Police CAMERA Act of 2025?

The Police CAMERA Act of 2025, known as H.R. 1188, has been in the House Committee on the Judiciary since February 10, 2025. The committee members must act next to hold a vote, but most bills fail because committees choose not to take action. This bill faces the same hurdle as the previous version, H.R. 9620, which expired on September 16, 2024, without a committee vote.
