Summary

District of Columbia Legislative Home Rule Act

Full summary3 paragraphs

This bill eliminates the authority of Congress to nullify recently enacted laws of the District of Columbia (DC).

Current law generally provides Congress with a 30-day period in which to review and nullify measures enacted by the DC Council (60 days for measures involving criminal law). An enacted measure is nullified if Congress passes and the President signs a joint resolution of disapproval. If there is no congressional action during the review period, the measure becomes law.

The bill eliminates this congressional review period and process.
