Bill Summary

JOINT RESOLUTION Disapproving the action of the District of Columbia Council in approving the Revised Criminal Code Act of 2022.

AI Summary

This Joint Resolution disapproves of the District of Columbia Council's approval of the Revised Criminal Code Act of 2022, which is a set of proposed changes to the criminal laws in Washington D.C. The resolution, passed by both the Senate and the House of Representatives of the United States Congress, formally rejects the Council's action. This disapproval means that the Revised Criminal Code Act of 2022 will not become law. The District of Columbia Home Rule Act is a law that grants the District of Columbia a degree of self-governance, but it also gives Congress the authority to review and potentially overturn laws passed by the D.C. Council.
