Minnesota Lawmakers End Special Session With No Reform Bill Passed

The transcript discusses a bill aimed at addressing police reform issues following George Floyd's death. The Minnesota legislature debated the bill, which included measures like requiring police to live in the cities they serve and involving social workers in certain situations. Despite passing in the Democratic-led House, the bill failed in the Republican-led Senate, which argued the measures were too broad. The legislature adjourned without agreement, drawing criticism from Governor Tim Walz, who called the failure an embarrassment. No date has been set for a special session to revisit the bill.
