Sen. Tim Scott (R-SC) introduced the JUSTICE Act to address law enforcement reform and accountability. However, the bill failed to provide real policing reform.
The Senate rejected cloture on the motion to proceed to the bill on June 24, 2020, by a vote of 55-45 (Roll Call Vote No. 126, 2nd Session, 116th Congress).
Democrats – 2 yes, 43 no, 0 not voting; Republicans – 52 yes, 1 no, 0 not voting; Independents – 1 yes, 1 no, 0 not voting.
