Plain-language change summary

The updated bill establishes a Use of Force Review Board to evaluate actions taken by the Metropolitan Police Department (MPD) regarding the use of force. Key changes include the specific qualifications for civilian board members, ensuring that they have no current or prior ties to law enforcement, which is intended to enhance the board's impartiality. This matters because it aims to build public trust in the oversight of police use of force, ensuring that those reviewing these incidents have diverse and relevant perspectives.
