Bill > B26-0209

This bill extends and clarifies several provisions related to pretrial detention and reporting requirements in the District of Columbia. Specifically, the bill modifies the Secure DC Omnibus Amendment Act of 2024 by extending the sunset date for certain pretrial detention provisions from 225 days after the original effective date to July 15, 2025. It also amends the Criminal Justice Coordinating Council reporting requirements, updating deadlines and adding references to the "Prioritizing Public Safety Emergency" in various reporting contexts. The bill requires comprehensive reporting on juvenile and adult criminal justice metrics, with a new deadline of May 7, 2025, for submitting these reports. The changes are designed to provide more time for implementation and review of recent criminal justice reforms. The bill will apply as of January 1, 2025, and is structured as an emergency act that will remain in effect for up to 90 days, subject to approval by the Mayor and potential Council override of any mayoral veto.
