The Texas House has given an initial green light on three police reform measures, which are part of set legislation after the murder of George Floyd last year.

Texas law enforcement agencies would be required to implement more uniform and substantiative disciplinary measures for officer misconduct.

The police reform bills would also bar officers from arresting people for fine-only traffic offenses and require corroboration of undercover officer testimony, according to a Texas Tribune report.

State Rep. Senfronia Thompson said that disciplinary measure was about fairness and accountability.

Thompson was the lead author of the bills and the omnibus George Floyd Act.

"The bill is by no means a cookie-cutter process. Every case of officers' misconduct is different. But so are other crimes in this state," Thompson was quoted in a report.

The Texas Legislative Black Caucus announced the state's George Floyd Act before the current legislative session.

The omnibus bill includes six impartial pieces that have since passed either the House or Senate.

It would also require agencies to adopt the use of force policies that highlighted de-escalation and take away police officers' immunity, which is what shields them from state civil rights lawsuits.

George Floyd Act

U.S. President Joe Biden has urged Congress on Wednesday to pass the George Floyd Justice in Policing Act before Floyd's upcoming first death anniversary, according to a Yahoo News report.

Biden asked the lawmakers to cooperate and find a consensus on the bill, which passed the House last summer.

However, it did not make it out of the Senate.

Biden cited his conversation with Floyd's daughter before the Black man's funeral.

"As I knelt down to talk to her so we could talk, she said to me, 'Daddy changed the world,'" Biden was quoted in a report.

Biden noted that she was right if lawmakers have the courage to act.

The former Minneapolis police officer, Derek Chauvin, knelt on Floyd's neck for more than nine minutes.

Chauvin was convicted last week of murder and manslaughter, according to a Reuters report.

Republican Sen. Tim Scott said he was hoping to find support for his alternative policing reform bill. Scott said this in response to Biden's address.

Scott failed to champion the policing bill last summer in the Senate as Democrats said it relied too much on incentives rather than prompting changes in the practices.

Police Misconduct

Every seven hours, police kill an American citizen, according to a Cop Crisis data report.

Around $1.8 billion is being approximately spent yearly on police misconduct.

Meanwhile, at least 85,000 law enforcement officers across the country have been investigated or disciplined for misconduct over the past decade, according to a USA Today report.

Records obtained from thousands of state agencies, prosecutors, police departments, and sheriffs showed at least 200,000 incidents of alleged misconduct.

Much of the incidents went unreported.

Out of the reported incidents, 22,924 of the investigations include officers using excessive force; 3,145 rape allegations, child molestation, and other sexual misconduct.

Cases of domestic violence by officers also reached 2, 3017.
