The Capital Emergency Control Act of 2025 would amend federal law to allow the President to extend emergency control over the Metropolitan Police Department in Washington, D.C. for multiple additional 30-day periods beyond what is currently permitted. Under the bill, each extension would require the President to notify Congress—specifically the chairs and ranking members of the House Oversight Committee and Senate Homeland Security Committee—along with a written explanation of why emergency conditions still exist. The legislation applies to any emergency declaration that is active when the bill becomes law or declared afterward. The bill does not specify funding amounts or establish new appropriations, and it contains no explicit timeline limitations on how many extensions could be granted.
