Bill > B26-0081

This bill makes several amendments to existing DC laws related to pretrial detention and reporting requirements. Specifically, it removes sunset dates from certain provisions of the Secure DC Omnibus Amendment Act of 2024, which effectively extends the current pretrial detention rules. The bill also modifies reporting requirements for the Criminal Justice Coordinating Council, changing deadlines and expanding the context of when reports must be submitted to include not just the Secure DC Omnibus legislation, but also the Prioritizing Public Safety Emergency legislation. The amendments require reporting on various criminal justice metrics no later than May 7, 2025, and apply to both adult and juvenile justice data. The bill is an emergency measure that will take effect upon mayoral approval and remain in effect for 90 days, with an applicability date of January 1, 2025. The goal appears to be maintaining current public safety and criminal justice reporting standards without interruption.
