H.R. 6372, the D.C. Shield Law Repeal Act, would repeal the Human Rights Sanctuary Amendment Act of 2022, a Washington, D.C. local law enacted in 2022. The bill would reverse all changes made by that amendment and restore any laws that the 2022 act had previously modified or repealed. The legislation was introduced in December 2025 by a group of Republican House members and was referred to the Committee on Oversight and Government Reform. The bill contains no specific funding provisions or implementation timelines, and it affects only D.C.'s local legal code. The exact details of what the 2022 Shield Law covered are not specified in this bill's text, which simply seeks to undo it entirely.
