The "Qualified Immunity Abolition Act of 2026," designated as H.R. 7046 in the 119th Congress and introduced on January 13, 2026, aims to eliminate qualified immunity protection for law enforcement officers. The bill likely includes provisions that would hold officers personally liable for constitutional violations committed in the line of duty, thus increasing accountability and potentially impacting the legal recourse available to individuals in cases of misconduct or excessive force. To access the full text of the bill and detailed provisions, refer to the official PDF version available at https://www.congress.gov/119/bills/hr7046/BILLS-119hr7046ih.pdf.

I don't like this new law, it's gonna make things more complicated. I hope it doesn't cause any problems in the long run.
