What’s happening with National Statistics on Deadly Force Transparency Act of 2025?
The National Statistics on Deadly Force Transparency Act of 2025, known as H.R. 1240, was referred to the House Committee on the Judiciary on February 11, 2025. The committee members must act next to hold a vote, but most bills fail because committees choose not to take action. This effort follows a similar bill that expired on September 19, 2024, and the lack of committee movement remains the primary barrier to progress.
