The Constitutional Accountability Act amends 42 U.S.C. § 1983 to make the United States, States, and local governments directly liable for monetary damages when their law enforcement officers violate constitutional rights, without requiring plaintiffs to prove a municipal policy or custom caused the violation. The bill eliminates sovereign immunity protections for States and the federal government in such cases and applies respondeat superior liability principles to government employers, similar to private employers. The bill's stated purpose is to incentivize law enforcement agencies to improve hiring, training, supervision, and discipline of officers.
