Bill Summary
A BILL To repeal the District of Columbia Home Rule Act.
AI Summary
This bill, named the BOWSER Act (Bringing Oversight to Washington and Safety to Every Resident Act), proposes to completely repeal the District of Columbia Home Rule Act one year after the bill's enactment. The Home Rule Act, originally passed in 1973, currently grants Washington, D.C. the ability to govern itself with a locally elected mayor and city council, and to have some degree of self-governance. By repealing this Act, the bill would effectively remove the district's current level of local autonomy and return full control of Washington, D.C. to the United States Congress, essentially dismantling the district's current system of local self-governance. This would represent a significant change in how the nation's capital is administered, stripping local residents of their current rights to elect and manage their own local government.
