This joint resolution disapproves of a Washington, D.C. city law called the Open Meetings Clarification Temporary Amendment Act of 2025, which the D.C. Council passed on June 26, 2025. Under federal law, Congress has authority to review and reject D.C. local legislation within a certain timeframe, and this resolution exercises that power to block the city law. The resolution does not provide details about what the city law actually changes regarding open meetings requirements, but it appears to be a temporary amendment to D.C.'s open meetings rules. If both chambers of Congress pass this disapproval resolution, the D.C. law would be invalidated. The resolution was introduced by Representative Hageman and referred to the House Oversight and Government Reform Committee.
