State lawmakers passed a reform bill bringing changes to policing in Minnesota in the early hours of Tuesday morning as the latest legislative Special Session came to a close.
Lawmakers had been brought back to the Capitol by Gov. Tim Walz after the previous Special Session failed to result in agreement on policing and bonding.
This time, the Republican-led Senate and the DFL-led House were able to agree on a series of measures on police accountability, almost two months after the death of George Floyd in Minneapolis.
