Bill > HJRes82

This resolution disapproves an action taken by the District of Columbia (DC) Council regarding the Insurance Regulation Amendment Act of 2024, specifically the legislation (D.C. Act 25-699) that was enacted on January 15, 2025, and subsequently transmitted to Congress on February 6, 2025, as required by the District of Columbia Home Rule Act. Under the Home Rule Act, certain legislative actions by the DC Council must be submitted to Congress for potential review and potential disapproval, which is the purpose of this resolution. By passing this resolution, Congress would formally reject the DC Council's insurance regulation amendment, effectively preventing the law from taking effect in the District of Columbia. The resolution represents an exercise of Congressional oversight of DC's local legislative process, reflecting the unique quasi-federal status of Washington, DC, where Congress retains certain supervisory powers over local governance.
