Read twice and referred to the Committee on Homeland Security and Governmental Affairs.
This joint resolution disapproves of a Washington, D.C. local law called the Full Accountability in Arrest Reporting Temporary Amendment Act of 2026, which the D.C. Council approved on April 29, 2026. The resolution does not provide details about what the D.C. law actually does, but under the District of Columbia Home Rule Act, Congress has the power to reject local D.C. legislation within a specified timeframe. If passed, this resolution would overturn the D.C. Council's action and prevent the local law from taking effect. The resolution was introduced by six Republican senators and referred to the Senate Committee on Homeland Security and Governmental Affairs. No funding or implementation timeline is involved, as this is purely a measure of congressional disapproval of D.C. local legislation.
