"DC Council unanimously passed a police reform bill June 9 that would ban MPD’s use of any chemical irritants on protesters including pepper spray.
“I am urging Mayor Muriel Bowser to sign the emergency legislation so that the legislative steps that I and my council colleagues have taken to protect residents can go into effect immediately," Councilmember Brianne Nadeau wrote in response to MPD’s recent use of pepper spray.
A source from the mayor's office said that the bill is under legal review by D.C. Attorney General Karl Racine, and the soonest it could be signed is July 7 because the council did not send the bill to her until June 22. There is no public commitment by Mayor Bowser at this time on whether she will sign the police reform bill."
