Disapproving the action of the District of Columbia Council in approving the Body-Worn Camera Transparency for Use of Force Temporary Amendment Act of 2026.

Latest Action · June 3, 2026
Referred to the House Committee on Oversight and Government Reform.
This joint resolution disapproves of a Washington D.C. law called the Body-Worn Camera Transparency for Use of Force Temporary Amendment Act of 2026, which the D.C. Council approved in April 2026. The resolution uses Congress's power to overturn local D.C. legislation, a special authority Congress retains over the District of Columbia. If passed by both chambers and signed by the President, it would block the D.C. law from taking effect. The legislation appears to address policies around how body camera footage from police use of force incidents can be accessed and disclosed to the public, though the specific details of what the D.C. law requires are not included in this resolution. The joint resolution was introduced by House members and referred to the Oversight and Government Reform Committee.
