LANSING, MI (MPRN)-- A 12-bill police reform package goes before the state Senate Judiciary Committee Thursday.
The bills address a wide range of issues, from use of excessive force to search warrants.
Democratic state Senator Erika Geiss was a guest on Michigan Radio’s Stateside Tuesday. She says the death of George Floyd a year ago helped develop bipartisan support for the legislation.
“It’s hard to ignore it when you are seeing it... unfold, unfortunately in real time like we did a year ago.”
Geiss says it’s important to make progress on police reform, even if the change is only “incremental.”
