Another resolution, submitted by Mr. Booker for Mr. Markey, is described as recognizing that the murder of George Floyd by officers of the Minneapolis Police Department is the result of pervasive and systemic racism. Ms. Collins, for herself and Ms. Smith, introduces a bill to eliminate the 190-day lifetime limit on inpatient psychiatric hospital services under the Medicare Program.
