Bill > B26-0188

This bill aims to remove sunset dates from certain pretrial detention provisions in the Secure DC Omnibus Amendment Act of 2024. Specifically, the bill repeals Section 18(c)(2) and Section 30(k) of the original act, which likely contained time-limited provisions related to pretrial detention rules. By removing these sunset dates, the pretrial detention provisions will now remain in effect indefinitely, rather than expiring at a predetermined point. The bill follows standard legislative procedures, including requiring mayoral approval (or potential veto override), a 30-day congressional review period as mandated by the District of Columbia Home Rule Act, and publication in the District of Columbia Register before becoming effective. The Council has also adopted the fiscal impact statement from the committee report, which assesses the potential financial implications of the legislative changes.
