2/4/2004--Introduced.
Urges Congress to enact legislation to ban racial profiling and to require Federal, State, and local law enforcement to take steps to prevent the practice. Calls for every State to require law enforcement agencies to collect relevant data (including ethnicity) regarding traffic stops, to have a written policy that strictly prohibits racial profiling, and to create a grievance policy for those who believe they have been subjected to racial profiling.

House Democratic Caucus Summary

The House Democratic Caucus does not provide summaries of bills.

So, yes, we display the House Republican Conference’s summaries when available even if we do not have a Democratic summary available. That’s because we feel it is better to give you as much information as possible, even if we cannot provide every viewpoint.

We’ll be looking for a source of summaries from the other side in the meanwhile.
