The Business Roundtable called on Congress in a statement Wednesday to pass a police reform bill before its August recess.

The big picture: The business group issued a list of recommendations as Republicans and Democrats compete over differing police reform bills.

It recommends that Congress invest in community policing programs and creates a national police misconduct registry to catalog officer disciplinary records, which it believes will promote public accountability.

Why it matters: The announcement by Business Roundtable, made up of CEOs of America's 193 largest companies, reflects the rising pressure on corporations – from values-centric employees, shareholders and customers – to take stands on controversial public issues they once would have avoided.

"CEOs are leaning forward and saying 'We have a problem.' You cannot watch the George Floyd video and say 'we don't have a problem.'""There's a national outcry for reform.
