Washington, D.C. — Florida Congressman Daniel Webster, R-Clermont, voted to pass several pieces of legislation this week supporting America’s law enforcement officials.
 
“The men and women in blue who courageously answer the call to protect and serve our communities deserve our respect and confidence,” said Rep. Webster. “In honor of National Police Week, I voted to pass a slate of bills that continue my longstanding support for our police. I will always back the blue and will continue to support measures that ensure our police officers have the training, tools, resources, and support needed to keep our neighborhoods and communities safe.”
 
Rep. Webster voted to pass the following bills in the House of Representatives this week:
 

• H.Res. 1213 – Condemns violence towards law enforcement officers amidst calls to “defund the police” and expresses support for law enforcement officials.
  
  
• H.R. 7581, the Improving Law Enforcement Officers Safety and Wellness Through Data Act – Requires the Attorney General to study and share information into the rise in violent attacks against law enforcement and share recommendations on how to prevent further attacks on officers. 
  
  
• H.R. 354, the Law Enforcement Officer Safety Reform Act (LEOSA) – Expands the LEOSA exemption to allow law enforcement officers to conceal carry firearms on state, local, and private property that is otherwise open to the public, and reforms qualification standards for law enforcement officers to conceal carry.
  
  
• H.R. 7530, the DC CRIMES Act of 2024 – Combats the rise in crime by lowering D.C.’s definition of “youth” from 25 to 18 years old and prohibits the D.C. Council from enacting soft-on-crime sentencing policies.
