House Democrats passed a package of bills on Sept. 22 aimed at bolstering police funding and public safety, after Republican lawmakers accused them of being soft on crime amid a surge in violent crime across the United States.
Lawmakers voted to pass four bills as part of the package, including the Mental Health Justice Act of 2022, the Invest to Protect Act of 2022, the Break the Cycle of Violence Act, and the Violent Incident Clearance and Technological Investigative Methods (VICTIM) Act of 2022.
