Senate Page, Vivian Zhang, asks House Community Safety Committee Chair, Roger Goodman (D), and Ranking Member, Jenny Graham (R), how the legislature might balance Police Accountability with Public Safety.
The House Community Safety Committee considers a broad array of issues relating to the criminal legal system, including policing; crisis response; crime prevention; criminal penalties and sentencing; impaired driving; adult correctional programs; rehabilitation and reentry; and adult correctional institutions. The committee also considers issues relating to the registration and civil commitment of sex offenders.
