Ending qualified immunity could, “result in unintended consequences for both individual law enforcement officers and the profession as a whole,” he said.This is the second time the act has been put forward. In 2020, Pingree and Golden both supported the bill, which also included language eliminating qualified immunity for law enforcement.The bill passed the House 220-212 and will now go to the Senate.
