This joint resolution would disapprove a local law passed by the District of Columbia Council called the Full Accountability in Arrest Reporting Temporary Amendment Act of 2026. Under the Home Rule Act, Congress has the authority to block local D.C. laws within a certain period after they are enacted. This resolution, introduced by Representatives Gosar and Sessions, seeks to overturn the D.C. Council's approval of this law, which was enacted on April 29, 2026. The bill itself does not specify what the underlying D.C. law does, only that Congress formally disapproves of it. If passed by both the House and Senate, this resolution would prevent the District of Columbia law from going into effect, giving Congress the final say over this local D.C. legislation.
