But some progressive Democrats have been hesitant to accept the package without stricter regulations on local police departments. Such regulations, in turn, ran the risk of souring GOP lawmakers on the proposals.<\/p>\n<p>The final bill package consists of four elements.<\/p>\n<p>One of the four bills, sponsored by moderate Rep. Josh Gottheimer (D-N.J.), furnishes federal grants to local police departments with fewer than 125 officers. Another, sponsored by\u00a0Rep. Steven Horsford (D-Nev.), provides targeted grants to communities with unusually high rates of criminal violence. The third bill in the package, this one sponsored by\u00a0Rep. Katie Porter (D-Calif.), achieves a longtime Democrat goal of incentivizing the use of mental health officials to respond to situations instead of police officers, whenever feasible. The final bill of the bunch, put forward by\u00a0Rep. Val Demings (D-Fla.), provides funding for enhanced investigative technologies to solve unsolved cases with a focus on gun violence cases.<\/p>\n<p>Rep. Joyce Beatty (D-Ohio), who\u00a0heads the Congressional Black Caucus and led negotiations between the disparate elements of the party, applauded the final package.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cThe American people have been asking for mental health\u2014we\u2019re giving them that.
